CLs with Glamping

 

By their very nature CL's would not be allowed Glamping units on the same site as the CL, you might be lucky and find a CL with such facilities on an adjacent site otherwise it will have to be a commercial site.

Mill House Farm CL

 

Clearly has a Shepherds Hut on the CL

And clearly against the CL regulations, I am awaiting an answer from the CC.

So what's the difference between this and one that has a static caravan for hire by the CL? There are quite a few of them about.

None whatsoever, all against the CL regulations.CL's are for five touring caravans/trailer tents or motorhomes for a max of 28 day and members only.

But where does it say in the CL regulations that there can't be static accommodation on or close by the CL? Surely if there was some such rules these would have been pointed out to the CL owner by the site inspector?

Do you mean like the many instaces of CL overcrowding reported on this forum. often time and time again by the same perpetrators

They're transient and so may well be missed by the ispector where as static accommodation is permanent and so will definitely be spotted by on an inspection. Well one would hope so any way, as surely none of the inspectors can be that blind, could they?

We are often asked by family members and friends who don't caravan / MHome are there accomodation options available in order for them to enjoy the same holiday with us rather than mainstream 'hotels' often miles away.

Near a very popular theme park we use a previous CL, now a 15 pitch site that has 2 holiday cottages on site.

In recent years more of our friends have bought caravans to enjoy this holiday hobby based on the experiences we have had over the years with both MH and now caravan.

The downside is the perceived officiousness of the CC and the roolz for roolz sake.

An additional accomodation at a CL seems a sensible way to encourage new entrants to this hobby and gives further support to the CL network. 

Can't really be a bad thing, can it? Or are inflexible roolz and attitudes a good thing? 

I don't think there is anything to prevent a CL from running a B&B /Holiday Cottage alongside. If it is to be a proper source of income, such a format would be almost essential as a CL is only ever going to provide 'beer money' at best.

I understand what you are saying but you have answered your own question inasmuch as you are quite at liberty to use a commercial site that has permission to accommodate more than five units and the CL owner is at liberty to get planning permission for a bigger site.The system of allowing planning exemption for up to five units is unique and would never be allowed now because there are many local councils etc just looking for an excuse to have it stopped so that they could take full control, if people carry on abusing this facility it will be the end for CL's.

I am not referring to running a B&B /Holiday Cottage alongside but in the two CL' cited the extra units are clearly on the CL.

One nights income from a Shepherds Hut equals 5 vans onsite, perhaps something like a Hut makes the CL more viable to run and would ensure that more CL's keep open for your enjoyment.

I am not disputing that but it should not be on the CL.When I enter a CL I expect to be one of  maximum of five because that is what I have paid for and those are the regulations.The CL owners have agreed to the regulations in order to avoid having planning consent then abuse the priviledge to the detriment of members.
