Rother Local Plan 2020-2040 (Regulation 18)

Representation ID: 25908

Respondent: Park Holidays UK

Agent: Rural Solutions

Representation Summary:

The text in brackets should be removed. it is an unnecessary limitation. There may be small sites (touring caravans, tent camping, yurts etc) where use outside of the old March to October season is perfectly practicable nowadays. For example, the growth in Pod Camping of more recent years is a specific response to the availability of suitable accommodation which is useable over a much longer season. If the aim is to ensure the requirements of 9.65 are met then no seasonal limitation is required. The same sort of conditions can be applied.
