Geoff Bell Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Is there a motorhoming planning officer on the forum who could first of all explain the laws concerning small sites and overnight sleeping and parking. Unfortunately many good ideas fall at the first hurdle, victims of the complicated planning laws of the UK and an understanding from the outset would be very useful.

colin Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I've stayed at three pubs with attached small site, one on kent/sussex border and one in sommerset both which where great, one just south of scottish border was not much good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Slide aside to this but I did a search of the internet the other day and found that some websites claim that Tesco don't mind you staying over on their car parks, within reason ... is this true???

michele Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 mel, if you were a car and tesco's open's as we know 24 hours . A car can sit with occupants in it over night . So i don't see why as long as you shop there that you cannot stay overnight in a camper ....Loads of kid's where we live use it as a race death trap ..no one challenges them. They meet up chat the lot . Still probably would have some sort of problem with campers everyone else seems to in England .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michele Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Starspirit have you noticed you have 64 people that have read this and as yet you do not have one of those interesting orange sticky logo's on it ? whats going on things seem to be going terribly wrong since site updated ?

olley Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hi I believe that you can PARK overnight but not CAMP overnight without planning permission in pubs, tesco's ect. Parking is simply stopping and thats it. Camping is when you unroll the awning, get the chairs out ect. Wait to be shot down :-D Olley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Dwight Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Re Tesco's, Ithink you will find that Tesco car parks are managed by a parking company and that you are limited to 2hours parking. Our local Tesco/M&S certainly is. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids whoever they are are all growed up and gone away - well gone away anyway unless they wants some cash that is. 'Twas ever thus.

Don Madge Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 There is a site (which I can't find at present) that lists over night stopping places in the UK and they do include supermarket car parks. Back to the search :'( Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michele Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Would people really feel safe in a Pub Or Tesco car park overnight.... I know I wouldn't and often on holiday in Aires & the like we look for saftey in numbers..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enrico Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 A country pub,one would think should be fine.I`d be happy enough with that but a Tesco carpark which are usually in or near a town (!) (!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michele Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Yes it wold be a nice idea though. In General that's why we don't stay in England head straight abroad. Try to drive at night when the kid's are asleep when it get's to much for the eye's there is alway's an aire somewhere you never have to go for long...When we were new to it we alway's went to camp sites. Now would never go back to camping caravan /trailer tent .... IT's a different way of life that we love............And we have ended up in some real funny places ,the police don't seem to mind 10 a penny in France these campers.........not such a big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 olley From the pub menu you certainly bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "wild camping"!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmad Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Unfortunately we're home at the moment having had to cut short a 4 day new year trip in Wareham Forest, Dorset. We went to the nearest pub last night (not walking distance) for an evening meal and when we came out 1.5 hours later our van wouldn't start. Green Flag couldn't help and were unable to tow us out due to the parked cars opposite us. I went in to explain to the landlord and he was really nice about it so we thought we might as well go back in for a drink! Anyway, the point of this story is that we felt safe there and realised we were really lucky we hadn't got stuck earlier in the day at Poole Greyhound Stadium where we'd parked for a stroll into the town. Wishing everyone a happy motorhoming new year, Carol and Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macfitz Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 i have no interest whatever in parking over night on a supermarket car park, i merely suggested the idea for those motor homers who would regard it as sheer nirvana ! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
