All welcome
24 June 2025, 10:00 am, duration: 60 minutes.
Planning is THE issue raised both by existing glampsites and those looking to enter the sector. The myriad of rules, regulations laws and opinions can confuse and lead to expensive mistakes or planning refusals. Combined with Local Authorities that can be less than helpful, it is a surprise that many glampsite owners can ever make their dreams come true. Planning expert, Claire Wilkinson, will take us through the dos and don’ts of the planning process so you can get it right first time. She will also explore when it makes sense to get an Exemption Certificate and the rules you will need to follow to avoid a costly mistake.
