We are caravan owners and it is clearly annoying a local resident who is making a nuisance of themselves to the council wherever we put it. It was stored on our driveway in front of our garage however the tow bar was overhanging the footpath very slightly so we had to move it. We own a patch of land next to the garage block which was previously just foliage. We have cut this all back and made a hard standing surface to store the van, hoping it would appease the neighbours. Clearly not. Council have said we need planning permission for change of use? as the land is not within the curtilage of our property. Any advice? land is not green belt if that helps. There is a caravan in a neighbouring road in exactly the same position. Planning officer doesn't seem bothered by that one as no one has complained about it!
many thanks in advance
