The moratorium on evictions only applies to residential caravan sites. It does not apply to caravan sites with planning permission for holiday use.

During this period of national lockdown, accommodation providers including holiday caravan parks, must close. However, there are a number of exemptions that allow businesses to remain open, including where households are using this accommodation as their main residence.

Where sites have to close because planning conditions require them to do so, we encourage site owners to work with their respective local authorities to plan for any possible impacts the closure might have.
