If you lay down,people will line up to stomp on you.Fight,you have rights,besides your family business is Grand fathered in.That means your business was around long before the local laws changed.

It depends in who's name the original authorisation was made.
If it's solely in her name, then the council have a right to refuse anyone else operating on that site.
It could also mean that they are desperate to have the van removed and are using the change as a reason.
