MOVING EXISTING BUILDINGS ON SAME SITE

Can anyone help. We have existing buildings on a sports field and seek to relocate them nearer to the pitch to provide easier access for changing etc. presuming these long established buildings are de facto permitted [planning] then is there any case law to support relocation without seeking planning permission.

Ken. I would have though that if the buildings could literally be 'picked up' and moved from one place to another (like a caravan) they might be able to be regarded as part of a wider a use of land, and thus you might be able to relocate them without the need for an application. If however you would need to undertake some form of building or other operations to facilitate the move, then it's more likely that you would need to apply first. Mike

thanks Mike - we now will debate to "portability" of these buildings. Your response much appreciated Regards Ken
