CARAVANS AND CAMP SITE LICENSING
Caravan Sites
Caravan Site Licences are issued under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960. No fee is payable. A Site Licence is normally required for any land on which a caravan is stationed for the purposes of human habitation. There are some exceptions.
Licences are issued with conditions that are appropriate for the site concerned. They normally relate to the layout of the site (in respect of fire safety) and provision of facilities such as sanitary facilities.
A Licence will not be granted unless a site has also received Planning Permission granted under Part III of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

Camping Sites
Camping Site Licences are issued under the Public Health Act 1936. No fee is payable. The need for a Licence only arises if the site is used for more than forty-two consecutive days or for more than sixty days in any consecutive twelve months.
It should be noted that the use of the land for a camping site for more than twenty-eight days in the total of any calendar year will give rise to the need to obtain Planning Permission.
