Caravan and camping sites
You will need to apply to the council for a caravan and camping site licence and you will need to have planning permission before you can apply.
You don’t need a licence to run a caravan site if:
- forestry workers, builders, travelling showmen or seasonal workers (like fruit pickers) stay in caravans on the site
- the site is five or more acres and there are three or fewer caravans there for 28 days or less a year
- you’re a member of an organisation like a caravan club and have a caravan exemption certificate
- your site is approved by an organisation with a caravan exemption certificate
- members of an exempted organisation stay in their caravans on the site
- your site is used for a social get-together of caravan club members (a ‘rally’)
