A report by the Assistant Director (Localities) was submitted in respect of applications considered under section 269 of the Public Health Act 1936. Officers of Environmental Health attended the meeting to respond to queries and issues from the members of the Licensing and safety Panel and explained that Bury Council has not previously received an application for a campsite, therefore the Council are required to determine any applications that are received. The Local Authorities (Functions and Responsibilities) (England) Regulations 2000 as amended, indicate that this is a Council function and under the Council’s constitution is delegated to the Licensing and Safety Panel. A licence is required if the site is operating for more than 42 consecutive days or more than 60 days on any 12 consecutive months.
It was agreed:
That members adopt the proposed standard conditions in respect of a campsite under the Public Health Act and Caravan sites and Control of development Act 1960, Public Health Act 1936.
