Increase size of CLs?

Depends if you live near one in a tiny village. Sometimes even 5 vans can double the population in people and dogs. I can usually tell how many dogs when I cut my verge grass. My other concern is that many CL owners use the CC to establish a CL and then have a better case with local planning to establish a larger commercial site and close the CL.

Quite happy for CL'S to only have 5 vans  if they want any more they can apply for a commercial licence.

Thought the whole point of a CL was that they were small with minimal facilities for those that prefer a quieter and more basic holiday style

Government legislation allows bodies such as CC to grant permission for sites taking up to 5 units under their auspices. This exempts the sites from the usual rigmarole of obtaining licensing and planning permission - at least, that is my understanding. More than 5 units requires all the rigmarole that commercial sites have to go through.

Any exempted site allowing more than 5 units to stay risks losing its exemption and jeopardises the whole of the CL network by putting CC's power to give exemption at risk.

perhaps the Club could lobby for an increase.

 

 

I think we all know the law as it stands. I just quote the opening line from the original post. 

The OP didn't seem sure!

The day CC lobbies for anything we'll likely see hell freeze over. Haven't CC admitted recently they are not a campaigning organisation?

Perfectly happy for CLs to stay at five pitches, because there are already lots of lovely slightly larger (5-20 pitch) private sites out there, if you look for them. We used three absolute crackers last year, similar price to CLs, quarter price of some Club Sites. 

The argument for having more pitches to pay for more facilities doesn't entice us. Waste, water and EHU, plus good firm base if a 12 month site, are all we need. Anything else provided at a price lower than £18 per night is a bonus for us. The peace, quiet and hopefully good location are priceless!

Keep them at 5, if they are allowed to increase to say 8 ,then in a few months it will be 10 ,then 15 ,where will it end?

5 is fine

,where will it end?

 

It will end with fewer and fewer CLs.

Although they made a big play at being the lobbiest that halted the proposed caravan MOT!
