The past week we have broken the 5 van rule, Last weekend we should have 2 of our visitors leave both were of an age that although fit and well did not want to drive in the high winds forecast, I had no problem in letting them stay, and then a motorhome arrived and said what an appalling drive they had had. followed by another. Personally I had no problem with this.

Some years ago we were on Henley site and it was full,the warden then at 2200 had a caravan arrive that had been  broken down (they did phone) but at just turned 2000 a camper rang the bell ,also with mechanical problems and two young children asking "if they could stop" the wardens used their discretion and"found a space for both ,I know this as we were in their awning with them surprised

Hi all,

Just to clarify the situation we have been travelling home so unable to reply to anyone. The site is Lower Liston farm Dorset. .It was our first visit and will be the last.Four days into our holiday the owner informed us of the impending rotary club visit.Glad we came home.

I think you know as well as I do that this is not about discretion or genuine emergencies, It is about serial offenders who show no respect to their customers or the regulations they signed up for in order to avoid getting planning consent.
