CARAVAN SITES
45
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.
Two site licences were in force during the year.
Site licence conditions require a water carriage system of drainage,
main water supply and fire precautions.
The Caravan Sites Act, 1968 imposes a duty upon local authorities to
provide caravan sites for gipsies residing in or resorting to their areas and
a site, to accommodate 15 caravans, is now under construction.
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.
