Two court injunctions target unauthorised caravan sites in England
Original source: maidenhead-advertiser.co.uk

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead council is engaged in a legal battle to halt further development of an unauthorised caravan site on greenbelt land in Fifield. The High Court granted an interim injunction in January after four mobile homes, three motorhomes, and a touring caravan were brought onto the site despite a stop notice. The judge deferred a final injunction ruling, stating the council must reassess its position in light of new information regarding the personal circumstances of the occupants, including six children.
