CARAVAN 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 licencing to be
administered by District Councils.
One site licence was in force during the year as follows:—
Address No. of Caravans Period of Licence
Dennards Yard, 1 Indefinite period.
Magdala Road,
Croydon.
Site licence conditions require a water carriage system of drainage,
main water supply and fire precautions.
MINES AND QUARRIES ACT, 1954
This Act requires compliance with provisions designed to prevent accidents
arising through lack of proper fencing or too easy access.
Routine visits are made to quarries in the district as necessary.
