Closed CL sites

I am baffled why a CL has to re apply when the next generation take over. One of our favourite CLs, been on the go decades, was in the name of Mr and Mrs X. Mr X passed away years ago, Mrs X with the help of family, resident at the the same property, carried on offering a lovely little site, some upgrades and new facilities put in, all getting along nicely. Then Mrs X finally passes away, poor young Mr X junior, who has been running and looking after said Site is told that he needs to re apply, and what’s worse, the inspector sent out deems all sorts of work needs carrying out! And folks wonder why some CLs pack it in!☹️

Hi Takethedogalong

All CL's are certificated in the land owners name, whenever a CL site is taken over by someone else (even family) we need to go through a Change of Certificate Holder, this is not a new application.

We work very hard with CL owners to keep these sites and to ensure that Change of Certificates are done as quickly as possible. It is also a good opportunity for us to meet new owners and ensure that anyone taking over a CL site is up to date with the latest guidelines. Whilst on site we take this opportunity to ensure the site is meeting modern day standards and meeting the members needs.  

If you are in contact with the CL you are referring to please could you ask him to contact us at HO if he has any queries so we can assist him.

Thanks

Thanks Maddie. They spent thousands doing what they were advised to do. Luckily decided wanted to keep it on. It was just the fact that he had been running the site for years anyway, then suddenly it needed all sorts of alterations and additions. Nothing had been unsafe or contrary to requirements. We just hope that they get the visitors that the site deserves.
