Improve the CL network for all concerned.

There are too many people against an increase in the size limit of five members maximum on a CL at any given time for it to reasonable happen (However, this is the CC so they could get up to anything at all!)

So my suggestion is that the CC, and the C&CC and the other major clubs using the exemption to run CLs should instead lobby for a very slight change in that exemption to allow CL owners to run more than one CL on their land, subject to a mimimum distance between them.  I would suggest half a mile to start a discussion.

The small landowners would not be able to create overcrowding and the larger ones who wanted to be more successful then could.

In reply to the OP.

This is already the case. Crich Lane Farm in Derbyshire have had 2 CLs for as long as I have used them.

Formerly known as Crich Lane 1 and Crich Lane 2, they now have seperate names. The farm building/B&B seperate the two sites.

Hi Pippah45,  I'm sorry your application was turned down.  Our CL is on a single-track farm drive and we manage access via arrival and departure times.  We very rarely have any issues.   Maybe you could reapply?   I'd certainly be happy to discuss further with you and see if I can assist in any way.  please email me tedhj@btinternet.com

Ted thank you very much for the offer - it makes perfect sense to manage times with arrival and departures etc - I remember mentioning it at the time!  Not exactly rocket science is it!?  At the moment I am applying for PP to convert a barn - and if that is successful I think the CL will not work - a bit of wait and see.  I will keep your email address in case - thank you very much.

The CL I have just been on advertises earliest arrival at 10 am - with latest departure 12 noon - I certainly wouldn't want to meet another caravan on their lane but perhaps they sort it out at time of booking.  I do know people turn up at Club sites anytime from 9 am onwards even though noon is supposed to be booking in time!
