I've made your link live brue.

thank you brue however that seems to be specifically related to in your garden. My scenario is on land not connected to my property or the land around my property.

spk, I can't give you current law but I once approached the local planners with a request for a cabin to be built near woodland I had. The basic(among very many) salient points were-no piped water or electric, it must not be a permanent fixture in the landscape, I could only use it for a few months of the year. Or go for full planning permission. Chances of getting it was around zero at that time. I know that things have moved on in the last 10yrs mind. Give your local planners a call

Thanks Jill, I'm getting intermittent problems with links!

Spk, I think Rocky is right about this but sometimes people do get temporary planning eg they can use the site for a designated time period and then they have to re-apply, depends on the local planners, parish councils and residents objections etc. 

there will be no objection from neighbours. But our local office is notorious for planning permission or rather lack of. My theory is that our "need" will be because we are running a business from the land and at some future point we "may"  sell the property but keep the land.

spk, there's a PS now you've posted that. I do remember being told if it is 'business related' & you will be employing locals it's easier to get any permissions needed

Going back a lot of years here, but we managed to get planning to site a static within the grounds of the family hotel.  However, this was only temporary whilst we were appealing refusal of a planning application to build a house in the same location.  This was within the Lake District National Park though, so may be different in your area.

Our "need" was because we were going to be taking over the running of the hotel as parents wanted to retire, but retain their house within the grounds.

We had plenty of land to go at ..... over 10 acres!  But the planning board were very hard work to say the least 

We had 8 acres and was converting Barn to dwelling which was 90ft long , we asked local authority if we could put a static on site which was about 1/4 mile away from barn water sewage (septic tank near )and electric was sited , we had no problem

1 it was not a permanent dwelling could be moved and resisted 

2 it was allowed for 3yrs only unless permission is extended 

after about 4mths we attached and converted the back of a lorry to it so ended up with a large L shaped what looked like a bungalow we lived very comfortable for nearly 3 yrs moved into barn and after 6 yrs we sold and the caravan / bungalow is still there 

thinking back to then we think it was relatively easy for the planning was because we went for the largest static that you could legally tow  on the road about 28ft long but it was10ft wide , but all local authorities are different
