If I was to risk not obtaining permission, what's the point in telling council and pay tax.
Apologies if I have missed anything obvious.
The two matters are not related.
The static caravan is a self contained residence therefore is liable to council tax. Whether or not it has planning permission is not relevant to its assessment for CT.
Assessment for council tax is carried out by the Valuation Agency, a government department, not by the council.

Looking at that - and it's noticeably better than I'd been picturing and looks quite reasonable to live in actually.0

The link in original post was incorrect.

Where does the public footpath go? It looks as if it goes down parallel to the B road.0

The public footbath is a narrow one and it goes between this property and the next. It basically connects the area from the main road on right side of property. Saves walking around the whole street.
It is not a B road but still a busy local road which connects city to the village.
A downside of footpath is it poses a bit of a security risk due to easy access from main road, I would rather have it closed.Nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. - Alex Supertramp0 -

Interesting. I would prefer something to be built there as that corner is fairly secluded from view and people living there will probably increase security.Nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. - Alex Supertramp0 -

Don't even go there. Public footpaths are public footpaths - and if you buy a property with them then you have to accept it.
It takes time/money to get permission to shut a footpath - and an alternative footpath has to be opened up nearby instead (which I very much doubt is possible and therefore closure wouldnt be allowed).0 -

Sorry should have been clearer, the footpath is outside the boundary, so more like adjacent to the fence. Property is fenced and gated.Nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. - Alex Supertramp0 -
That road is the B6379 on maps.
Also seems to be a handy bit of parking for the graveyard against the top boundary for anyone wanting needing a quick getaway.
there is also TPO on the big tree next to the path.
How well lit is that path.0
