    And what do you do when they issue you with a Court Order telling you to remove it from that piece of land altogether?

    Proclaim yourself a traveller and sue for discrimination.

    and when you've successfully achieved that, throw a garden party in the middle of your field, invite the entire planning committee and set them alight.
  • by accident of course.

    A mobile home is more like a small bungalow that is transported in a trailer. They're never towed. They do hace wheels but only for manouvering them around on site.

    Ok Mick - I give up. We'll call it a trailer then.

    If you declare yourself a traveller, you'll be moved to the nearest traveller or transit site.

  • Some friends of my parents have some land where he has a shed and some polthene tunnels they are in the flower and plant job. They want to build a bungalow near the shed on the land and could not get planning. Apparently there is some kind of loophole where they now have a mobile home parked on the land and from what I can gather after a certain length of time, I think it is 2 years they get compulsory planning to be able to build a dwelling there. Sorry a bit vague but don't know the full circumstances, I certailnly know they live on the land in the mobile home as have driven past several times.:D

    But the owner (himself) has given permission for the traveller (himself) to drive, tow, carry his mobile home, trailer, motorhome on to his property.

    This is all true, but you still need planning permission to live it it.

    In which case, he's clearly not a traveller as he has a fixed place of abode ;)
