To legally park a caravan in West Lothian, you must meet specific conditions regarding licensing and usage. The caravan must be placed on land that has been properly licensed for caravan use, and certain provisions apply. Here’s a breakdown:
| Conditions | Details |
|---|---|
| Site Licence Requirement | A site licence is required, unless the caravan is within the curtilage of a dwelling and used incidentally, or it's stationed for short stays. |
| Use Duration | A single caravan can be on-site for no more than two consecutive nights for up to 28 days in any 12 months without a licence. |
| Maximum Caravans | Up to three caravans are allowed on a site of at least five acres for a maximum of 28 days in any year. |
| Exemptions | Some organisations like the Caravan Club or specific types of temporary sites may be exempt from needing a licence. |
| Fit and Proper Person Test | Applicants must not have had a site licence revoked within the last three years and must be entitled to use the land as a caravan site. |
If you're considering parking a caravan on a particular site, it's a good idea to check if the site has the necessary licensing and whether your use complies with the stated conditions. For more information, you can refer to the Caravan Site Licensing page.
