Social housing told us to remove our caravan for no reason, can we appeal?

[rowenj]

We live in social housing and have a nice house and on the drive we have for the past 6 years had a caravan. Its in good condition and does nobody any harm yet this week we were told by the housing association that we must remove it:
"you need permission for caravans on driveway"
Us:"we did not know"
"well you need permission and we are not giving permission, you have until the end of the month to remove it!"
So how is this fair? Can we appeal and if so who to?

If its in your agreement tHat you need permission for a caravan then sadly there isn't much you can do about it. At the end of the day, you are in rented accommodation with a landlord and, just like any other landlord they can say what goes. Your only defence would be if there was nothing in your agreement aboit what you can use the drive for and what needs permission.

have you checked the local by-laws or your lease?

you probably haven't a leg to stand on!

There are areas of the country where you are not allowed to have a caravan on a drive whether you own or rent the property.

[Baldric]

Caravans, problems, wherever.

We own our own house and had a caravan a few years ago. We was told to move it, It is in our deeds "no helicopters,fire engines,hovercrafts and caravans allowed on the driveway".

[Prudie]

No hovercrafts? How very inconvenient.

[Celticv11]

Get some wood and nail together a crude sledge, put caravan on sledge= caravan not on driveway! Simples

[bednobs]

where DOES one keep one's hovercraft in this situation then?

[HowardKennitby]

If one can afford a hovercraft then one has a large estate and the hovercraft pilot takes care of it.

We had a caravan when we lived in the Yorkshire Dales national Park and provided it was incidental to the use of the property and withing the curtilage of our boundary they couldn't care less.

Could you offer to screen it rowenj. Might help your appeal.
