Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will make it his policy to increase the number of caravans and tents permitted at site and locations certified for self-catering holidays during 2021; and if he will make a statement.
Local authorities are responsible for regulating the number of caravan and tent pitches on caravan sites through the planning and caravan site licensing regimes. We want to see them taking a flexible approach to requests for temporary increases in the number of pitches this summer where it is appropriate to do so.
