Paragraph 9.63 on page 79 considers the upgrading of holiday caravan and chalet developments, however we must note that it is unlikely that an extension to the occupancy of existing holiday caravans or chalets would be acceptable in areas of flood risk. We support the resistance to caravans and chalets to become permanent homes in areas of flood risk, and permanent single-storey mobile home accommodation is considered as 'highly vulnerable'.
