CARAVAN SITES MP CONTROL OF DEVELOPMENT ACT. I960.
This Act, which was passed in July 1960, makes provision for the licensing
and control of caravan sites. Owners of existing sites who wished to continue
the use of the sites, had to make application for a site licence not later than
the 28th October 1960.
Applications were received and in 1961 , three licences were issued, with
conditions appropriate to the tenure of each particular site. The owner of one
site gave notice of appeal in 1961 and this was eventually heard at the local
Petty Sessions after protracted unsuccessful negotiations between the Council and
the owner.
This particular site is in two local government districts. The Court
Order made several minor alterations, some which were to make the licences bear
standard conditions as between the two districts. The work required to bring
the site up to the licence conditions was not started by the end of the year.
Both licences had required the works to be completed within twenty-four months;
this condition was not amended by the Court.
The caravans attending the Barnet Fair, are exempted from the controls of
the Act, but several visits are made to enquire into the sanitary conditions, any
infectious diseases and to enforce the provisions of temporary sanitary accommodation
in the different sections of the Fair for the use both of oaravanners
and the visiting public. Regular removal of refuse from caravans and stalls
ia arranged and inspections are made of food stalls to secure hygienic conditions
