How To Get Caravan Site Licence In London
A caravan is a large compartment fit for human habitat and is capable of being pulled by a vehicle or car. Londoners who get tired of London’s fast-paced lifestyle and miss the peace and greenery of the rural areas tend to escape from the city’s busy streets by caravanning in caravan sites. Caravan sites are lush green fields rented out by the owners to be used by people. If you own a property or green field large enough and are planning to use it as a caravan site then you need to obtain a license from the local council for this purpose.
