This Order amends the definition of caravan in section 13(2) of the Caravan Sites Act 1968 ("the 1968 Act") and article 3(3) of the Social Landlords (Permissible Additional Purposes) (England) Order 2006 ("the 2006 Order").
Section 13 (twin-unit caravans) of the 1968 Act excepts from the definition of "caravan" in Part 1 of the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960, twin-unit structures designed or adapted for human habitation whose dimensions do not exceed specified dimensions. The Secretary of State has the power to make an order specifying different dimensions to those set out the 1968 Act.
Article 3(3) (meaning of caravan) of the 2006 Order defines a "caravan" for the purposes of article 2 of that Order which extends the permitted purposes or objects of registered social landlords to include the provision, construction, improvement or management of caravan sites for gypsies and travellers.
This Order, which applies to England only, substitutes dimensions that are larger than those set out in section 13(2) of the 1968 Act and article 3(3) of the 2006 Order.
