Caravan and campsites
To run a caravan and camping site, you need a licence from us.
You will need planning permission before you can apply for a licence.
The purpose of the licence is to protect the health, safety and welfare of caravan occupants and to address issues such as fire safety, electrical safety, drainage, adequate amenities and a wholesome water supply.
You can be fined up to £2,500 for permitting any part of your land to be used as a caravan site without holding a site licence.
Licences will not be issued to applicants who have had a site licence revoked within three years of the current application.
Contact the private sector housing team for information about applying for a licence. Email privatesectorhousing@cheltenham.gov.uk or telephone 01242 264119.
Fees and charges
There is an annual fee that is charged for each site. Fees are reviewed annually and are invoiced to the owner.
