West Lothian does not specifically provide designated areas for parking caravans in residential neighborhoods. However, caravan use is regulated through licensing, and certain sites can be licensed for permanent or temporary use as caravan sites, as outlined by the Caravan and Control of Development Act 1960.
If you're looking for places to park or store a caravan, it's recommended to check for licensed caravan sites or consult the council for specific regulations and options. Here are some key points about caravan licensing in West Lothian:
| Caravan Site Type | Licensing Requirements |
|---|---|
| Touring and holiday sites | Licensed under Part 1 of the Act. |
| Permanent residential sites | Licensed under Part 1A of the Act; requires planning permission. |
| Temporary sites for travellers | May be regulated but specific arrangements need to be discussed with the council. |
| Other temporary uses (e.g., rallies) | Discuss requirements with the council. |
