Creating a new CL

We are thinking of applying to open a CL.  We previously had CL permission from the Motorcaravanners Club but felt they did not have the membership to populate their sites .

Ours would be a basic CL - (like they used to be) A lovely grassed area plus wildlife pond, which is regularly visited by deer, owls, brown hares, badgers, otters etc. Plus a chemical waste emptying site and fresh water.  What I would like to know is - do people still want these sort of CL's or does everyone these days want electric hookups, showers and hardstandings. If the answer is yes, then we wouldn't persue it .  Thanks for reading.

We're just starting out, only one tour under out belts so far, but we're setting up with our solar panel and aim to use basic, non-EHU CL's, so if you set up in your new home, please post about it. That's exactly what we're seeking!

Thank you all for your comments.  On reflection we have decided that we are not going to apply for a CL.  We have also made the decision to move from where we are now next year.  It all depends where we go to as to whether we would think again.

because of the nature of our land it would be very expensive to put in EHU and we feel that the income we would receive wouldn't be justified here.

Good luck with your plans. We use CLs for their location, it doesn't matter to us whether there is EHU or not. A well kept CL in a good location will always be of interest. smile
