Adoption of Touring Caravan & Camp Sites Licence Conditions

As a Licensing Authority, the Council is responsible for the licensing of Touring Caravan & Campsites.

The Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 (CSCDA60) requires that no occupier of land shall “cause or permit” any part of their land to be used as a caravan and/or camping site unless they hold a current site licence in respect of the land.

‘Caravan’ is defined as a structure for human habitation which is capable of being moved from one place to another, being towed or transported, and any designed or adapted motor vehicle.

Under Section 269 of the Public Health Act 1936 (PHA36) a site licence is required if a person allows any land occupied by them to be used for camping (tents only) purposes on more than 42 consecutive days or more than 60 days in any twelve consecutive months.

Our proposals

We are proposing the adoption of a standard set of licence conditions which will safeguard public safety and will ensure basic level of amenity/facility

The draft conditions are based on model conditions issued by the Secretary of State under section 5 (6) of the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960.

To ensure the safety of future users of any touring caravan and camp sites within the Derby city area, and to ensure a basic level of amenity is provided.
