A landowner in Semington, Wiltshire, has lodged a planning appeal after the council refused a retrospective application for a static caravan used for agricultural purposes. The caravan has been on site since October 2024; the application was submitted in January 2025. The owners argue that 24-hour presence is essential for animal welfare, security against trespassers and predators, and emergency response, citing lambing season as an example. The council ruled that the need for on-site residence was not justified and the business plan lacked viability evidence.
