Camping Sites
The Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act, 1960
confers on Local Authorities powers for the control of caravan
sites and apart from improved planning powers it provides for a
system of site licensing to be administered by district councils.
Site licences can only be issued if planning permission has
been granted by the Planning Authority. Site operators in possession
of planning permission cannot be refused a site licence which
will remain valid for the period of planning permission subject to
observance of the site licence conditions.
In deciding what conditions to attach to a site licence a local
authority must have regard to the Model Standards specified by
the Minister.
Provision is made for appeal against the conditions of a site
licence and subject to this proviso penalties may be imposed for
failure to comply with licence conditions.
The licence in respect of a caravan at Hall & Company's
depot was renewed for a further year.

Site licence conditions in all cases require a water carriage
system of drainage, main water supply and fire precautions. In the

with a constant supply of hot and cold water are additional
requirements.
