REC16 - NEW SITES FOR RECREATIONAL CAMPING AND CARAVANNING
Development resulting in the loss of existing recreational caravans and camping sites will not be permitted. The provision of new sites for touring caravans and tents, or the extension of existing sites, will only be permitted where they:
- are restricted to holiday occupation;
- are well-related to the network of major roads, and the amount of traffic likely to be generated by the proposal would not prejudice highway safety or cause significant harm to the environmental character of country roads;
- are well-screened and would not prejudice the landscape quality of their setting or have an unacceptable impact on the environment;
- would not have an unacceptable impact on the amenity of adjoining residents and other occupiers;
- would not result in a harmful concentration of sites.
The Council will encourage the provision of campsites for lightweight tents, particularly where they are related to the North Downs Way or Greensand Way long distance footpaths.
