Section 62 - Meaning of “protected site”

172.This section modifies the meaning of “protected site” in section 5(1) of the 1983 Act so that it has the same meaning as in Part 1 of the Caravans Sites Act 1968. Accordingly, a protected site is any land in respect of which a site licence is required under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 (or would be if there were no exemption for local authority sites). But it does not include land in respect of which the relevant planning permission or site licence—

  • is expressed to be granted for holiday use only, or

  • is otherwise so expressed or subject to such conditions that there are times of the year when no caravan may be stationed on the land for human habitation.
