The Key Features and Benefits of Wooden Mobile Homes
You may wonder, what a sturdy log cabin structure has to do with the concept of a mobile home. Actually, it appears to have quite a lot. Log cabin mobile homes are the modified versions of the same wooden log cabins, following certain size and structural requirements to fully comply with The Caravan Sites Act 1968. First of all, a mobile log cabin has to be constructed of two separate units. Secondly, this twin unit has to match specific size requirements: be no more than 20 metres in length, 6.8 metres in width, and max 3.048 metres in height (from the lowest point of the floor to the highest point of the ceiling).
If your chosen cabin meets these particular requirements, it can save you a lot of hassle and costs and bring all the same benefits of a regular log cabin home. The main benefit that you will experience by selecting a mobile log cabin instead of a regular one, is significantly reduced building costs and less paperwork included in the construction process. Also, choosing a mobile log cabin instead of a regular caravan provides a wide range of benefits in terms of durability and residential comfort.
Planning Permission Friendly Transportable Log Cabin Mobile Homes
To be classified as a mobile log cabin in compliance with The Caravan Act 1968, a building should not be constructed on a sturdy background, e.g. permanent groundworks or a concrete base. If and when necessary, a transportable log cabin’s base should be easily deconstructed and the whole structure removed. One of the most efficient ways to comply with this requirement is to put down gravel and lay the floor barriers on the concrete blocks.
According to The Caravan Sites Act 1968, log cabin mobile homes, matching the previously listed size requirements and featuring a twin unit construction as well as built on your existing premises, in the majority of the cases, are discharged from a need of getting a planning and building permission.
In terms of the cabin’s location, planning permission is not required if the mobile log cabin replaces the existing mobile home, e.g. a caravan that already has obtained a Certificate of Lawful Use. Another way to ensure the conformity to Lawful construction requirements, based on The Caravan Sites Act 1968, is building the mobile log cabin on your own premises, next to the main house.
Our log cabin mobile homes are fully compliant with the size and structural requirements of The Caravan Sites Act 1968. However, when it comes to legal requirements and permissions in terms of the building location, we always encourage our clients to double-check with their Local Planning Authorities, to be completely sure and not take any risks when choosing wooden mobile homes.
