…attempt fails because of a technicality. The problem in Jarmain arose because two distinct actions had taken place. First a mobile home had been placed on the land: this amounted to a material change of use but had been authorised by a limited period permission. Second, following the substitution of another mobile home, this mobile home had been effectively dismantled and a building constructed around the parts of the mobile home. The LPA should in this situation have served an enforcement notice alleging that unauthorised building works had taken place. Instead because they were fooled into thinking that the mobile home was still in place, they served an enforcement notice alleging the breach of the condition attached to the temporary planning This interpretation makes good sense though the actual facts of the case were rather complicated in that if the second mobile home had been simply stationed on the site (as the planning authority believed) this would have amounted to a different actual…
