North Ayrshire Council refused retrospective planning permission for a house in Irvine that was partially constructed around a static caravan without approved plans. Applicant James Brown submitted the application after an enforcement notice was served in 2024, which was not appealed or complied with. Extensions were added to the caravan in 2025 and 2026, followed by masonry walls and a roof enclosing the entire structure into a U-shaped building. Neighbors objected, citing lack of proper foundations and loss of privacy. Planners concluded the development contradicts the local plan and harms neighbors, and personal circumstances do not justify the breach.
