Overview

This bill aims to simplify the application process for caravan site licenses in England and Wales by amending the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960. It removes some outdated requirements and streamlines the licensing procedure.

Description

The Caravan Sites Bill makes changes to the 1960 Act. Specifically:

• Repeal of subsections: Subsections 3 and 5 of Section 3 of the 1960 Act are repealed. These likely contained outdated or unnecessary licensing stipulations.
• Amendment to subsection: Part of subsection 4 of Section 3 of the 1960 Act is removed. This likely simplifies the language and removes unnecessary wording.

The bill's geographical scope is limited to England and Wales and comes into effect immediately upon passage.

Government Spending

The bill is not expected to have a significant direct impact on government spending. The changes are procedural, simplifying the licensing process rather than introducing new funding or programs.

Groups Affected

The primary groups affected are:

• Local authorities: These will experience a simplified licensing procedure, potentially reducing administrative burdens.
• Caravan site operators: They will benefit from a potentially easier and quicker application process for licenses.
