Thinking of putting a semi-permanent glamping area at the bottom of our pub garden. Probably just one bell tent - but might convert a Wendy house that already there into a kitchen/ shower area.
I’m assuming we’d need planning - probably have to connect water / drainage too thinking about it?
Any help/ advice greatly appreciated. |  |

I can't really help you with the planning / legal bit to be honest. But I was having this conversation with a friend last year, there's a few pubs around my way sat on massive plots, generous car parks and garden area. And at a time when everyone was holidaying domestically, hotels shut or restricted and many of the sites were full, we did wonder why some of these pubs hadn't got in on that during what was a hard year for them. Pubs have obviously got easy access to toilets, and I know a lot of these CL's don't provide shower blocks etc. Nice little income I would imagine, as well as potentially selling food or converting them into pub customers. There's a CL down the road from me that's £20 a night for a pitch, it's literally just a field with an electrical point. Must have 50 vans or more in there whenever I drive past. |  |

The wife and some friends have spent the weekend hunting for somewhere to go away "glamping" for a few days...literally everywhere seems to be booked up for summer. We've stayed in a Yurt and Shepherds Hut previously, both really cool...glamping with a pub a few steps away sound idyllic. |  |

I’ve messaged you some details. |  |

Don't know about planning - maybe individual Councils vary a bit in their regulations? - but you've certainly given me an idea for doing something similar, thanks! |  |

That’s correct. There are often differences between councils as to what they allow, and what other impacts there are such as access, any flooding/heritage/noise/tree assessments etc.
I’ve done a fair bit of work within planning, doing some of the drawings for a planning advisor client, and we’ve actually done a site visit fairly near to catch’s pub as it happens! | |

There are two issues here. The first is whether your proposal involves material (ie physical) development, the second concerns change of use.
For the first, planning permission should not be necessary for the structures, if they are of a temporary nature. This would certainly be the case for a residential property, much the same as for a garden shed or greenhouse. I don't see why the same rules shouldn't apply to commercial premises, but the first thing you should do is ask the company which is going to supply the structures. If they can't help, get an independent planning consultant to advise you.
For the second, you need to find out if your existing planning permission includes the provision of accommodation and/or camping. If not, you may need planning consent for a change of use and, in addition, compliance with other rules such as fire safety. Again, get independent advice first.
DO NOT get the Local Planning Authority involved unless it becomes absolutely necessary. Once they open a file on you, your life will never be the same again!
Lastly, I'm sure that you will be up to date on any COVID rules with which you must comply. |  |

My understanding is that you may use your land for any purpose for up to 28 days in each year
But the Govt have modified this rule to allow for camping sites for up to 56 days per year, only on a temporary basis. Not sure when the cut off date is
As previous posters have mentioned, try to avoid involving your Local Planning Authority, as their stock response seems to be to insist that you put in a full application with drawings and a fee and they will take some months to reply if you need permission or not. My experience has been that they are the very epitome of obstructive mendacity who seem unable to respond to even the simplest inquiry within 2 months. I would just get an opinion from a Planning Consultant....fee might be payable for this |  | | |
