Yes, you can apply for a special permit to park your caravan overnight, but it must adhere to certain conditions outlined in the Caravan and Control of Development Act 1960. Specifically, a single caravan can be sited for not more than two consecutive nights for a maximum of 28 days in any 12 months without a site licence, but this is only applicable under certain circumstances.
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| Duration | Maximum of 2 consecutive nights |
| Annual Limit | Up to 28 days in any 12 months |
| Exceptions | Must not require a site licence; specific terms apply |
If you wish to apply under different conditions or for longer-term use, you will need to obtain a site licence from the local authority, which usually requires planning permission. For more detailed guidance on applying, check out the Caravan Site Licensing page. It's a good idea to contact the council directly to discuss your specific situation.
