There is an amendment to Permitted Development rights coming into force on 26th July. The main change is the introduction of a new permitted right for temporary recreational campsites (Part 4, Class BC). This will allow use of any land as a campsite for no more than 60 days per calendar year, and no more than 50 pitches. Temporary moveable structures are also permitted, with provision of toilets and waste disposal required. The Council must be notified of dates in advance, and a Prior Approval process applies for sites in floodzone 2 or 3. This should bring in more opportunities for pop-up campsites, but important to note that this new right does not take effect until 25th July 2024.
