How to apply and fees

Applications for site licences are made to the local authority in whose area the land is situated.

Apply here

You must send a scale plan (minimum 1:500) showing the site boundaries, location of caravans, roads, footpaths, toilet and washing facilities, parking spaces and fire points with your application. 

Tacit consent applies so you will be able to act as though your application is granted if you have not heard from us after two months or by the end of the completion date we advised you of.

Fees are not charged if the site is solely used for touring or holiday purposes.

The amount you pay will depend on the number of caravans on your site. You will be liable to pay a grant fee (on application) and an annual fee thereafter, as detailed below. Your application will not be valid until you have paid this fee and we have received any additional information we require.
