Caravan Sites are required to be licensed by the Local Authority. The Licence is issued by the Caravan Licensing and Enforcement Team. Each Licence will be subject to Conditions. All Caravan Sites in the District are inspected regularly to ensure full compliance with the Conditions.

Planning Permission is required to operate a Caravan site. A Licence can only be issued if Planning Permission has been approved by the Local Planning Authority.

Holiday sites and Residential sites both need to be licenced but are dealt with differently. More information is contained on the pages below:
