How we monitor mobile home, caravan and camping sites, and how to apply for a licence
We monitor all mobile home sites in Hart to ensure they meet the conditions of the site licence. Under the Mobile Homes Act 2013, we introduced a policy for licensing of residential park home sites and fees for the licensing of mobile homes.

Caravan and camping sites
We license camping in tents or other structures such as yurts under the Public Health Act 1936, section 269. Planning permission will be required if the land is occupied for more than 28 days.
Licence conditions mostly cover spacing issues, water supply and sanitary conditions.
