Rural businesses and landowners are urging the government to further relax regulations to enable more temporary campsites to pop up this summer.

‘From last year, as the pandemic hit, landowners could set up a temporary site for 56 days without planning permission, rather than the usual 28.
But the campaign group Carry on Camping argues this just isn't enough to meet demand, nor the needs of rural businesses this year.
They are after a full six months, to make it worthwhile for businesses, to make the most of camping now in June, all the way up to October.
Landowners can earn up to £50,000 a season in some cases. "I've been amazed. We've been full every night we've been open. And all I've had to do is mow the lawn."

Didn’t realise you could set up a camp site for 56 days without planning permission?
