britgirl Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Would I be right in assuming that the caravan has a carte gris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulT Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Sorry, going off track but is there not some rule that if you keep a touring caravan on land for more than 3 months planning consent is required?Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 New rule, I rather think that it always was a rule. Have you got any textes that it has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Idun, preume you were replying to my post....I did not say it was a new rule but something is telling me in the back of my mind that I had read that there was this rule - wondered if it was why the French seem to prefer motorhomes to touring caravans.

idun Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 You are right Paul T, I had misread. I am getting to the point where of knowing that I must wear my specs when on here, and not just try and read without them. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think you'll find that you are confusing the issue regarding caravans on your land. Restrictions only apply where occupancy is involved. A touring caravan simply parked on your property generally requires no planning permission. There may be variations where specific occupancy rules are in place (covenants etc)Static caravans are different, of course.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'd agree, only the OP said: We wish to sell an older caravan we have used for accomodation at our French home in the Allier, where would be the best place to advertise this please? And that surely comes under the regs too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friend of stouby Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Didn't intend to cause confusion and didn't want to appear to advertise the caravan here either...We have a small 1 bedroomed cottage and expected certain visitors (as in for a holiday) a few times each year, but their health deteriorated before they could use the caravan. We have friends scattered around the globe who all live by the rule of if you visit anyone only stay 3 days max. So over the last 5 years we have had visitors, some wouldn't use any caravan and stayed at the local country auberge, some brought their own motorhomes along, and some used our caravan.We have replaced the caravan with a motorhome for our own use, Tour de France, Le Mans etc etc, and guests can use this if required.Although I can understand the confusion it's probably due to lack of any other qualifying information as didn't want it to appear as a sales pitch. My use of the word accomodation was used correctly though as it accomodates friends on occassion, but apart from it being located in one place it isn't used apart from a few days each year.Sorry to have caused any problems.

BIG MAC Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 This thread got me thinking....suppose one had a large hangar and one had an occupied (and I don't) caravan within the hangar..could that be considered an 'extra room' for Tax habitation purposes? I don't particularly like caravans but hadn't thought of allowing friends to store theirs or the rules which may apply or if they 'overnighted' ...come to think of it...the turn into the field would be too tight..and I am not demolishing my cowshed lol...as you were....
