Renting out a caravan in Scotland

[Crofter]

Just waiting to check something. 

If I'm part way through building a house and end up with a serviced plot with a static caravan on it, can I offer that on long term rental? Or would it fail to meet minimum standards like EPC rating?

I presume I could use it for short term holiday letting, but it would be very unlikely to be attractive in that market. 

I presume there would also be some planning considerations?

Interesting topic.  A short term rental (i.e. holiday) now needs and EPC so I assume letting caravans is still allowed as they are EPC exempt?

 

The only person that could answer that is the council who should be able to confirm a caravan is EPC exempt?

Our cottage has a different type of license to our house, and doesn't need an EPC.

 

If this project goes ahead we'd be prefer to offer the caravan on long term rental though. I'm just not sure if we're actually allowed. There's a dire shortage of affordable rental accommodation here and plenty of people would jump at the chance to have even a static caravan to stay in if the price was right. It would feel like I was being part of the solution rather than part of the problem...
