Hello,
Any advise would be really appreciated. I am the owner of a field and caravan now sited in the field.
The field, near Lyme Regis ( This is East Devon District Council ) was acquired by my Grandfather in 1938 and has been passed down a few generations to myself.
My wife and I intended to use the caravan in our field for a few weeks a year and the occasional weekend with our children.
Since 1938 our family has allowed a local family to use the field as they wish ( Horses almost all of that time) , that arrangement is to carry on as we are only using a tiny part of our 1 acre field for what we intended would be no more than 20 days a year. The Tenants of the land have agreed to us coming down for holidays and there are no problems with them, they are nice people, there is no inconvenience to the tenants.
(
The caravan was towed on to paving stones as the ground is soft and situated in a corner of the 1 Acre field (the only flat part of our field) . It is not a field that is easily accessible, a real mission to get it the caravan there in the first place. It is not visible by any residence and with green caravan cover one would struggle to see it However .............. Problem.......... we now have been told via a official notice pinned to the caravan cover that's we need to apply for change of use or remove the caravan . I cant see what change of use they mean ?
As Children we used to camp there with my parents and we really wanted the chance to use the field once more, something nice for the Children , any help or advice would be most welcome.
thank you , have a nice evening
Kevin
