Planning and The Woodlands Champion Scheme
Are you hoping to use a wooded area of your land to host your glamping dream? But at the same time, a little worried about whether you will get planning permission for your project? Did you know there is a scheme that has already got planning permission for such projects that means you don’t have to if you sign up to them? Woodland Champions.
They say on their website:
There is also a chapter on getting planning for your glampsite in the book www.glampsitesuccess.com
Woodland Champions say... “If you want to open a campsite beyond your 28 days permitted development, then the easiest way is to apply to an exemption body. Woodland Champions can issue exemptions for up to 5 caravans and 10 tent pitches. The law covers pods and shepherds huts as well as caravans. We are the only Club to specialise in the non-touring caravan exemptions. There’s no need for planning permission or expensive planning consultants’.
Signing-up to this scheme can mean you can get to bypass planning, using their global permission. After all glamping, by it’s very nature, is eco-friendly so setting up a site SHOULD be easy, but often it’s complex. For more tips on getting set up, download our guide to setting up a glamping site.
