(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order designates the Borough of Dacorum as an area to which section 10 of the Caravan Sites Act 1968 applies.
It is an offence within a designated area for a gipsy to station a caravan for the purpose of residing for any period on any land within the boundaries of a highway, or on any other unoccupied land, or on any occupied land without the consent of the occupier.
Under section 11 of the Act (substituted by section 174 of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980), unlawfully stationed caravans and their occupants may be removed by order of a magistrates' court.
This Order revokes and replaces the Gipsy Encampments (Borough of Dacorum) Order 1989 because of an error in article 2 of that Order: “designed” was printed instead of “designated”.
1968 c. 52; section 12 was substituted by section 175 of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980 (c. 65). and was amended by paragraph 11(2) of Schedule 8 to the Local Government Act 1985 (c. 51).
