If you come across this problem question the extra and research the answer they give you. Well, when doing this put the caravan in an area that is not going to make the caravan stick out like a sore thumb. Pick an area of your land that is well away from both of these.
Maybe plant some large leylandii so that it breaks up the look of the caravan. Also, purchase a Green or Cream colour these seem to blend in with the area and surrounding farmland. Then this is going to be a good look. But if you have turned all your soil over if growing for Market Gardens or have Lots of Sheep or maybe like me Lots of Chicken Tractors breeding pure breed poultry.
Then they will see you are trying to become a farmer. Also, the fact that fewer and fewer young people are getting into farming is good. I mean would you rather test out your farming skills on a couple of thousand-acre farms..?
But you can still move into your caravan without applying for Planning Permission while building your business up. Now you have to do this carefully and what I am saying is. But if you have grown a profitable farm while living away from the farm then ask the council if you can live on the farm. The local planning department is going to say well why do you need to live on the land if your farm is doing just fine where you live now..?.
So it is always better to live on the farm while growing your business to the minimum income needed. This way when you do move on the land you will already have a business making a profit but not as much as needed.
But you will have a good start to get to the amount to live on the land legally. You will be in a better financial starting position to make that one years minimum income.
Than if you started from scratch living in the caravan and had three years and a bare farm to make that amount and good business. So starting to farm your land first and getting things ready is going to stand you in good stead for your big move. You will almost certainly get a visit from the local council, but now you have nowhere else to live and evicting you from your home.
I mean your only trying to start a small farming business to help the local community and hopefully give back to the community in the future. While also making a living from the land. I am also not talking about keeping just a couple of different animals. It has to be an economically viable business plan that will make you an income from the land.
Also a little. There have only been 3 cases one you may remember where an old guy shot the local enforcement officer dead. Probably not the smartest move for the enforcement department. Matters to consider include ground conditions and the suitability for a septic tank and percolation area.

Can I camp there, or what structure, if any, can be erected and used in the field? Thank you. The short answer is no. For the purposes of camping, the planning Acts provide for temporary use of any land for the placing of a caravan provided that:. No caravan shall be used for the storage, display, advertisement or sale of goods or for the purposes of any business.
No caravan shall be placed on land within 50m of any public road unless the land is enclosed by a wall, bank or hedge, or any combination thereof, having an average height of not less than 1. I suspect this does not address your question in that I imagine you want to use the caravan on a more regular basis as a holiday home.
You can camp there short term 10 days without planning permission but go beyond the 10 days and you risk an enforcement notice from Kerry County Council. You can store a mobile home on your own property for up to nine months without planning permission. The planning regulations classify the keeping or storing of a caravan within the curtilage of a house as exempted development no planning permission is required provided that:.
The caravan shall not be used for the storage, display, advertisement or sale of goods or for the purposes of any business. No caravan shall be so kept or stored for more than nine months in any year or occupied as a dwelling while so kept or stored.
However, again, I suspect you would like to occupy the mobile home as a dwelling. This would require planning permission. It is not what is known as exempt development. Your only option is to apply for planning permission for a temporary structure.
You will then have to consider permanent services such as a waste treatment plant, electricity-supply connection and connection to a water supply.
This will involve consulting with a suitably qualified planning professional to make the application on your behalf. Check the websites of the relevant professional bodies for an architect, chartered building surveyor or chartered planning and development surveyor who specialises in domestic planning applications in the area in which you are interested in buying. A consultation with the planner in the local authority for the area in which you buy is recommended and you can go along to that with whatever consultant you appoint.
Even though touring caravans are allowed to remain on your private drive or garden, there are exceptions. Check with your local council to make sure that your housing permissions allow for the long-term parking of a touring caravan. Densely built urban areas may not approve of touring caravans being parked long-term. If you are parking a caravan in your drive, check the layout of your street.
Take into consideration that a touring caravan is larger than most cars. It might create an obstruction for the traffic in the street or for the view of your neighbours. A parked touring caravan may not create an obstacle on either footpaths or roads. Also, make sure that the position of the caravan does not block the view for passing vehicles or pedestrians.
This is especially important in winding streets. If the placement of your caravan does form an obstacle for passing traffic or your neighbours, then your neighbours can report it to the council. The council will then decide whether your caravan is in an appropriate spot. Another factor to remember is council taxes. As long as it is not a static caravan and the caravan is used as an extension of the main home, then you will not need to pay taxes.
You will only need to pay taxes when the caravan functions as a separate self-sufficient dwelling. Certain planning permissions will then also apply. You are not allowed to keep a touring caravan on your land as a permanent and separate dwelling. Meaning, whomever is using the caravan must still be using the main home as their main residence.
The users of the caravan must be residents of the main home. A touring caravan is not allowed to be used as a separate self-sufficient home. For example, having a family member live in the touring caravan as their main residence is not legal. Having two different main residences on the same property requires planning permissions. Also, the touring caravan may not be let to others whether it is done privately or through on-line platforms such as Airbnb. Again, you will need different planning permissions to do so.
This regulation is related to the law that prohibits a structure to be used as a place of business when the land use is only intended for housing. If you want to place a touring caravan on your own property but anywhere other than your garden or drive, you might need planning permissions.
For example, storing a caravan on farm land might need different planning permissions. Remember, you are allowed to keep your own touring caravan on your own drive or garden. Allowing someone else, a non-resident of your home, park their touring caravan for a long period of time is not covered by the same regulations.
Also, if you are the owner of a large piece of land that includes a protected nature area, you will need planning permissions.
This only applies if your touring caravan is to stay parked anywhere other than your drive. As mentioned, you will need planning permissions to use the touring caravan as a separate self-sufficient home.
You will also need planning permissions to let the caravan. Every caravan owner will have to answer this question. Is it better to keep your caravan parked in the drive or garden or should you put it in storage? The answer will depend on your own situation. If you are allowed to keep your touring caravan in your drive or garden, keeping the caravan at home could save you the cost of storage fees. This also makes it easier for you to perform maintenance.
