Residential Permission...

Posts: 8 Forumite
Not sure if this is the right section...
I'm looking at buying some farm land... long storey short i want to put a mobile home on the land.
What permission will the land need? I know it won't need planning permission, but i've been told it'll need residential permission?? I've tried the planning portal, and google but i can't find any info!?
Thanks!

I know it won't need planning permission,
Why wouldn't it need Planning Permission?RICHARD WEBSTER

A mobile home up to dimensions of 20m X 6.8m that can be transported in no more than 2 sections is classed as a caravan, which (in my borough) does not need planning permission. Correct?

Planning permission is required for the carrying out of a building mining or engineering operation on under or over land or for a material change of use.
Placing a mobile home on land might not be classed as a building etc operation because it is a caravan and theoretically movable but surely siting a mobile home on land to live in it involves a material change of use that does require planning permission because you would be changing the use of the land from agriculture to residential or to agriculture and residential.RICHARD WEBSTER

Thats what my question is, i was told it might need residential permission... so this is obtained through the planning department?0

Yes, but it is still a Planning Permission.RICHARD WEBSTER

Most councils have a very strict policy regarding changing the use of agricultural land. Don't expect them to just "rubber stamp" your application to site a mobile home.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0

Richard is entirely correct above - planning permission is planning permission - there's no such thing as 'residential permission' per se - it's still planning permission, as you need to apply to change the use of the land to a residential use. I have to say that in rural areas, in probably about 99.9% of cases, this is entirely unacceptable and highly likely to be refused permission.Thats what my question is, i was told it might need residential permission... so this is obtained through the planning department?0
