Why it was refused

  1. The proposal as detailed above would constitute development and as such requires planning permission under Class 3B of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Order 1992 (as amended). This is because the proposed siting of the static caravan would result in a structure, within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse, which would exceed 3m in height. As such, it would not meet the caveat of (2)(b) of Class 3B and therefore cannot be considered permitted development.

From the council's decision notice.
