If you will be buying a static from a dealer, most dealers should be able to give you links to transporters, and if it is only a fence then it will be considerably cheaper to take the fence down and put it up again afterwards instead of hiring a crane, which will come with a whole host of other requirements all by itself.
BUT -
Talk to your local council FIRST.
If the static is going in your garden as "ancillary to the house" - i.e, not a separate self-contained accommodation but as a home office/playroom/den/overflow guest room etc., etc, but whoever is using it will return to the main house for cooking/washing etc., then planning permission is not normally required, but all councils are different, especially if the house is in a conservation area. Likewise, most councils accept statics being used to live in during major renovations or building work on the main home - but again, they all vary and will have stipulations.
Talking to the council first will give you pointers about what to do, how to do it, and especially what not to do.
If you want to use it as self-contained separate accommodation, then you probably will need planning permission, but again best to find this out first before you start looking for transport.

Hi Janz,

Did you manage to get a static in your garden?

I am in a similar situation where my children from my ex do not want to visit me while my current partner at home.

After loads of thinking I have come to the same conclusion as you.

Please advise asap.

You could be best to start your own investigations - neither of the (2015&2022) OPs have been back to say how things went, and any companies that were found back in 2015 may or may not have survived the pandemic.
Councils have differing policies about statics or caravans in the garden as extra accommodations, so you best step is to start a discussion with your local planning department to find out (a) if you need planning permission, and (b) if you do, what their requirements will be.
Before contacting them, decide exactly what you need the static for - will
it be completely self contained, or will whoever uses it still use the house for kitchen, bathroom, etc (this can make a difference as far as planning goes). Also, as somebody already suggested to the OP, as it is an intermittent situation, consider a large tourer instead of a static - it will be considerably easier to dispose of when you no longer have need of it.

Hi and thanks for your response. Tourer is too small to live in. I have emailed the council and now waiting for their response.

In the mean time I am thinking to speak to my neighbours too just to know what they think.

I have read the guide from the council about permitted building which suggests that there is nothing wrong with it :/

Talking to your neighbours and - hopefully - having them in agreement with your plans is always a good step.
Bear in mind that for planning permission, it is not just the building size and the location but the intended use.
Your original post indicated an occasional temporary use - as an overflow when you have visitors - which usually would not need planning permission.
You now say a tourer would be too small to live in, which makes it sound as if the intention is a separate fully self contained dwelling for long term use, and this is when planning permission can get awkward.
Planners will not just be interested in the size of the building and where it will be placed, but also whether it will be suitable for living in (utilities, access, insulation standards).
Don't forget that for living in (i.e, not using the facilities in the house), you also have to arrange for water and sewerage (and there are very strict regulations surrounding these) as well as electric connections.
