There is no maximum external roof height. For full details see the Caravan Sites Act 1968 Statutory Instruments Amendment 1st October 2006 No. Section 13 also states that twin-unit caravans must have a maximum external size of 20m x 6.8m (65.6ft x 22.3ft) and maximum internal ceiling height of 3.05m (10ft). ‘Such a structure, designed or adapted for human habitation and which is (a) composed of not more than 2 sections separately constructed and designed to be assembled on a site by means of bolts, clamps, or other devices and (b) when assembled, physically capable of being moved by road from one place to another (whether by being towed or by being transported on a motor vehicle or trailer), shall not be treated as not being a caravan for the purposes of part 1 of the 1960 Act by reason only that it cannot lawfully be so moved on a highway when assembled.’ The definition of twin-unit caravans is elaborated in Section 13 of the Caravan Sites Act 1968, as follows: The Legal Definition of a Mobile Home/Caravan The basic facts:Ī caravan is defined as any structure designed or adapted for human habitation which is capable of being moved from one place to another (whether by being towed, or by being transported on a motor vehicle or trailer) and any motor vehicle so designed or adapted, but does not include railway rolling stock in certain circumstances, or tents.
Because we design and build each unit individually we can exactly match the dimensions of your existing caravan, or change the size to maximise your available land. If you already have planning permission for a caravan then you can replace it with one of our timber buildings without having to seek new planning permission (provided that you are still using it for the same purpose as the original permission). You should also note that you cannot use a caravan as self contained living accommodation, or rent it out, without obtaining planning permission first. You can put a mobile unit in your garden and use it as ancillary accommodation to the main dwelling without planning approval unless it is within the grounds of a Listed building, however we always recommend that you apply for a certificate of lawful development from your local planning department to confirm that you do not require planning permission. This short video explains our method of building cabins as twin-unit caravans:ĭo I need planning permission for a mobile home/caravan?
When treated properly these buildings will last a lifetime. Our caravans are fully insulated for year round use and inside they feel warm and cosy due to the beautiful natural woods we use.īy individually designing our buildings to suit your property you can replace a static caravan with a long-lasting, beautiful wooden structure. They are perfect for providing additional accommodation for your family or as a replacement for a static caravan. Many of our customers choose to build them in their garden to use as an annexe for elderly relatives or for older children that want a little more independence. Because they are classed as caravans they are treated differently under planning law and Building Regulations. These mobile homes are just like our other log cabins except that they are built in two sections joined together and they are capable of being lifted and transported by road. We build custom designed cabins that meet the classification of twin-unit caravans under the Caravan Act.
