[densal]

copy and paste into the law section for more answers, you've put it in adverts where it may not be seen by the right people. click law on the list on the left then put your question.

Gripping stuff, densal, and most interesting, but why are you posting it here?? Thi.s is the Adverts thread for trainspotters who like asking and answering questions about TV commercials. This belongs in the Law thread. Any reply you get here will probably be hopelessly wrong

[Buenchico]

You'd almost certainly need 'change of use' planning consent (which you'd almost certainly be refused). See if anything here helps:

I think not, Cully ;-)

Buenchico, I said that because, at the time, the post was residing in the Adverts thread....

Do the authorities sometimes make an exception for Travellers? They sometimes build without planning permission and nothing is done.

[Peter Pedant]

I liked it bedda in Adverts to be honest

Buenchico - thw Wayne Rooney of Law scooooores !

Yeah obviously right - you need planning permission. Singer McCartney was made to pull down a shepherd hut which he cuilt god-knows-where on his land....

There are people called Planning Agents who charge but may be able to assist in getting permission

[Peter Pedant]

No Sandy - or perhaps Yes Sandy - there was a big case about this a year or so back and I think the planner won (no surprise)

"…
If you allow your land to be used as a camping site by the public for more than 42 days consecutively - or 60 days in a year - you require a licence from Ceredigion County Council.…"

You're looking at needing planning permission and maybe a license too. In fact the works you've already done may well have needed planning permission depending on the scope of the works. I'd be seeking some professional advice if I was you.

[densal]

i thought that a shepards hut on wheels i didnt have to have planning for that i thought you just had to move it every 28 days am i right or am i wrong and thanks for all your comments

[woofgang]

but densal, you aren't a shepherd, and the hut won't be for agricultural use.

[densal]

well we got animals on there and we have had a lot of vandalisum on site so i need to be on site

[seadogg]

Prefer badgers et al in mine.

[woofgang]

densal, you can put all the arguments you like on here but in the end you will need to apply for planning permission tout court. Nobody made you put animals on the land, and your original question was about family using the huts for holidays.

[EDDIE51]

If you intend to live in a hut , wheels or not on your land you need planning permission for residential use . This will be almost impossible to get, if it is granted you can put any type of dwelling there house, hut, mobile home. Land with residential planning permission is worth around 10x the value of the land without planning permission.
You may be able to get agricultural planning permission for a hut or other building to be used to store feed or house animals, but you will not be able to live in it. An occasional overnight stay could be permitted if it is necessary to look after animals for example. But permission for change of use from agricultural to residential use will be very hard to get.
