Caravan Site Licensing
North Wiltshire District Council licences caravan sites under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960
When is a Caravan Site licence required?
A caravan site includes anywhere a caravan (including mobile or ‘park’ home) is situated and occupied for human habitation including touring sites and single sites.
However it does not include sites where caravans are kept for storage only (driveways, retailers, storage parks) or where a caravan is used as additional accommodation for an existing dwelling (i.e. where your teenage son or daughter has their own pad in the garden).
Touring sites which are run by and for the use of the Caravan Club or Camping and Caravan Club are exempt from licensing requirements, but are subject to their own club rules.
Before a licence can be granted a caravan site must first be granted Planning Consent. For information on this, please contact Planning Services on 01249 706111.
