LABSS Information Paper INFOP18 2017 Version 6 - 15 October 2021 - Caravans and Moblie Homes

An enquiry was received regarding need for a Building Warrant to site “portacabin” type buildings /Caravans on land that was not a registered caravan site. This paper provides guidance on the need for a warrant and therefore the need for compliance with Standards. It also confirms that “portacabin” type buildings regardless of where they are sited are out with the definition of a caravan or mobile home and consequently will always need a warrant unless otherwise exempted by Regulation 3 and/or Regulation 5.
