<strong>If you are a caravan site occupier </strong> - you should have a licence already but you should check that your name, the site name and address is correct and up to date. Also check that the licence corresponds with your planning permission. If not, you should send us the licence for re-issue. </p><p>
|
|
<strong>If you have recently become a caravan site occupier </strong> - licences are transferable to a new occupier but the law requires us to give consent for the transfer. You should send us the licence with a request for transfer and we will either endorse or re-issue it. </p><p>
|
|
<strong>If you are a potential site occupier </strong> - you or your legal advisor should check that all the land used for siting caravans has planning permission and that the details correspond with the site licence. If you wish to change the use of the land to a permanent caravan site use you must have planning permission before a licence can be issued. </p><p>
|
|
<strong>Applying for a licence </strong> - an application must be in completed accompanied by a site plan at 1:500 scale showing the layout of roads, caravans and facilities. </p><p>
