Understanding your Planning Permissions and Site Licence

11th December 2008

At Charles F Jones & Son LLP, we receive many enquiries from park owners and operators to appraise their planning and Site Licensing history. It is extremely important to know exactly what you have planning permission for when considering development.

For example, your Site Licence should follow your planning permission however, on occasions, we have seen unnecessary and burdensome Conditions on Site Licences which do not follow what is contained within the planning permission.

Many originating planning permissions on caravan parks are historic and were often granted following the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act in 1960. Therefore Conditions attached to planning permissions were not as stringent as they are today.

Charles F Jones & Son LLP have a wealth of knowledge and experience in understanding and interpreting planning permissions and Site Licences. We advise that if you are considering redeveloping your park or have any development proposals, firstly, appraise your planning and Site Licensing history. If you require any further information, please feel free to contact a member of our Planning and Development Team on 01244 310237 or planning@cfj.co.uk
