Hi everyone,

I have an urgent appeal for any ideas on how to tackle imminent enforcement action to remove a static caravan.

 

Long story short this is my neighbour who about 5yrs ago put a cottage type twin caravan on his 2 acre nursery site and has been living in it ever since, he then applied for workers accommodation and was granted 2yrs to  show viability  of the nursery, it did not do this and was refused  planning.

 

He then started an appeal and then in court for some unknown reason withdrew his appeal.

 

 An enforcement notice was issued which he did not comply with, a summons was issued and he attended court yesterday, he was informed that the hearing was about if he was guilty or not guilty of not complying with the enforcement. He thought it was about if the enforement notice was enforcable

 

The magistrate has adjourned the case for 4 wks before accepting a plea.  My neighbour is convinced that he is ‘in the right ‘ and that the enforcement action will not take place, myself and other neighbours think that they will action the enforcement.

 

Any advice of pointers as what we could do would be gratefully received. He is 77 yrs old and has an invalid wife. We have the equipment and land space to move the caravan onto other land if this is required to comply with the enforcement.

Many thanks Seb

Lumpnuggin is referring to HIS book (pdf) on common law that you can purchase from him - it's gone too far now for the field to farm route.  It's the common law route or comply with the notice and move the unit

You'll have to stump up some readys, but by all accounts, it will be money well spent for both the immediate and the longer term future. Please give us a blow by blow account. We will be watching with great interest.
