The council in general has no powers to remove vehicles from land - without the landowners permission.

If the vehicles is classed as scrap or rubbish then they may make an order to tidy - but if the vehicle is used and not rubbish - they wont bring a case - if they say they are - its all bluff.

I wouldnt worry - its their job to just go round places and discuss things that they can do nothing about legally - its whats fills most civel servants days ;0)

Even if an enfocement is made - it takes ages and cots the council loads - the fact is councils dont have the money.

Keep your car - park it where you like mate.

If anyone came up here and asked me to remove any vehicles - I'd tell them to shove it.

There is an old landy for sale near us - when we enquired about it the seller told us it has no MOT or tax because he has just been using it on his land for the past few years for agricultural and shooting uses. So my understanding is that this is fine.

I left mine at the edge of a wood and look what happened.

Actually we have 3 1950s Fire engines parked in a field behind our neighbours and a total of 10 other cars parked in fields within walking distance of us.
Two are good friends !

It is if it's agric registered, but watch out if it was originally a road vehicle, if it was and it isn't re registered as agric then because of the new requirement for vehicles to either be SORNed annually or taxed and insured continuously, an auto fine can land on the doormat unless you check the vehicles status with DVLA.

Eg our landrover converted to water bowser with IBC bolted to it has to be SORNed every year unless we get round to having it reclassified because it was a road going vehicle until relatively recently,

DITW when i used "that" word my post was edited when I wasn't looking!
I'd not mind a landy or 4x4 in the field but just old cars, nah, unsightly, and dangerous if you have animals too.

well DITW the only scrap metal dealers I have seen are 2 English lads from Kent who have an M reg Ford Transit and bought all my metal and loaded it to illegal limits. How they did not get stopped by police for an overlaoded van that is still (after 5 years in France), but still registered with UK plates, did not get pulled I do not know.
Cars are frequently left when the driver dies and the partener left can not drive. " of my 3 neighbours have dead cars outside and in the barn. No French scrap dealers I guess.
