I bought a static caravan recently "stunning view "

Thank you. it is a long and established principle that there is no such thing as a right to a view in English law. it is possible to protect a view by entering into restrictive covenants with the landowner who owns the land over which you enjoy of you but clearly that does not apply here. if you purchased the caravan and then the landowner later decided to build so as to block your view, and the above common law rules, there is little that you could do. However the position is different here because from what you say, the seller advertise the caravan as having a stunning view, knowing full well that it was doing its best to build in front of that view.Accordingly based upon what you say, there would appear to be a misrepresentation on the part of the seller. In order to demonstrate that a misrepresentation was made, you would need to produce evidence of the representation in the advertising material correspondence you had - hence my above questions. If you cannot show that the misrepresentation was made by reference to the advert or correspondence, realistically you are likely to struggle with any claim because, as above there is no inherent right to a view in English law.If you can obtain a copy of the advertising material that contained the representation or have any other correspondence which confirmed that the caravan would have aa view, and can show that the seller had already at that time submitted plans to build in front of that view - this should be straightforward as the council will have public records in relation to the planning applications they may have made in this respect - then you could mount a claim on the basis of either misrepresentation or gross negligence misrepresentation. If you can demonstrate that the view was central to your purchase of the caravan and that you would not have purchased it had it not been for the representation regarding the view, you can potentially show gross negligent misrepresentation and seek to set aside the contract. This is a relatively high bar may not be achievable but where it is not, you may still be able to show a misrepresentation on the above facts and claim the difference in value of the site without a view as opposed to the site with the view.if the matter is being considered by the local authority's planning department, you may of course along with other neighbouring owners subject to the plans. Obstructing your view is not an absolute grounds for refusal of the planning permission but it can be taken into account by planning officer in determining the application.In terms of how to move forward, clearly the first and most important step is to obtain evidence of the representations made by the seller as any claim is likely to necessarily be founded on such representation(s). From there, you could attempt to negotiate a reduction in price with the seller or alternatively potentially a relocation of your caravan or setting aside the contract so that you both walk away as if the sale was never made. if such negotiations fail to produce a settlement, you may need to consider making an application to the County Court. to do so, the simplest way is to issue proceedings using the courts online issuing service:http://moneyclaim.gov.uk/I hope the above is of assistance?
