Caravan and Camp Site

Caravan and Camping sites

Carlisle City Council are responsible for issuing site licences and enforcing site licence conditions. Licences will only be issued once Planning Permission has been granted. This includes sites which accept touring caravans, static caravans and residential caravan sites, sometimes referred to as Park Homes.

There are some exceptions. For more information you should contact the our Environmental Health Section. Site licences identify owners and their site management and maintenance responsibilities, these include:

  • The licence must be clearly displayed on site
  • Providing fire precautions and adequate amenities
  • Controlling the number of caravans on the site
  • Distance between and positioning of caravans
  • Providing adequate drainage and water supplies
  • Providing adequate electric and gas mains supplies

For further information or to apply for a licence you should contact the Environmental Health Section.

There are model standards for caravan sites which would now be standard for any new residential caravan park that set up after 2008. These standards are listed below in the downloadable documents.
