How many is too many on a CL?

I may be wrong but can't a CL owner apply for an extension to the amount of vans on site under certain circumstances like Bank holidays plus many have rally sites could this not be mixed up with the normal pitched vans?.

I believe you are incorrect, Steve. 5 is 5 whatever the circumstances and a rally field should be completely separate.

I disagree, Harry. I think the difference in cost between installing 5 EHUs and 7 or 8 will be minimal. One reason site owners do it is for rotation to protect their ground and save maintenance which, in turn, saves costs.

I know of one CL with surplus EHUs on which I have never seen more than 5 vans. It was originally intended to be a small commercial site but planning permission was refused. It may well be granted one day.

 

I'm with TW, I've used a few 7-8 EHU sites, with the pitches over 5 roped off.

I stand corrected TW.

Roping off the additional pitches (or even having a hedge separating them) does not make them a separate site. It's just fiddling the rules.

Especially when they all use the same facilities.

Just remind me Ian, how many dozens of CLs is it that you have experience of?

Of the dozens we have used, quite a few grass pitch ones have more than five hook ups, as someone has stated, it is so the ground can be rested at busy periods. The Club used to move grass pitches years ago, before the spacing became so tight. Just good common sense on grass CLs, and not that costly to extend a wire run when first installing, especially if a farm site with excavation equipment and know how of how to do it. Just needs inspecting and certification get then.

I do wish when folks moan about more than 5 vans, they would say which CL it is, either via a review, or via the grumble on here!

Apologies - Oak Tree Farm listed under Pickering.  The site gets good reviews due to the friendliness of the owners.  The site only has 6amp electric (been promising 10amp for the last 5 years), takes tents and has two safari tents for rent.
