Dianne Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Hi, I see theres some discussions about caravans already on here, I wondered what size we can put on our site, given the current situation i dont think we are going to get builders for out attic conversion for quite a while so my teenagers were going to go into a mobile home in the garden which is 1 acre. does it have to be a standard sized static van or can we get one of those park home type things which are about 20ftx40ft. That come delivered in 2 halves, do I have to get planning for this when I phoned the planning dept. they didnt even talk about what size they just said let them know if I was doing it. I live in Scotland. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 There is a legal definition of a "caravan" in the caravan act. It certainly covers up to 20ft by 40ft which is a standard twin unit mobile home. This is the Highland Council's definition of a "caravan" https://www.highland.gov.uk/downloads/file/1346/bst_018_caravans_and_mobile_homes However I think that dociment is out of date (dated 2010) I am sure the Caravan Act Scotland has been updated to increase the maximum size.
