We use a lot of THS,mostly,in Norfolk, to take the grandchildren away .
Last year a lot of Norfolk THS were cancelled,and this year there is hardly any
listed at all In Norfolk.
Hopefully they will add some as the year goes on,or I may as well cancel my membership.

They will be there soon once North Norfolk Council decide what mitigation payment they want where sites are in the area of special scientific interest, that's why they were cancelled last yearvas Council said they wanted payment but didn't know how much so C&CC pulled all meets. Council weren't bothered till business and MP got involved as they lost a lot of income but C&CC say they have nearly agreed the amount and mechanism of how to collect.We use a lot of THS,mostly,in Norfolk, to take the grandchildren away .

Not quite, other councils already do it and its down to environment England rules.So Norfolk council is being run like the mayor runs Londons ULEZ.
As long as you pay a fee f#@k the environment

Not an expert on it but just got the gist as I'm a regional treasurer but here's the Council blurb I think. https://www.north-norfolk.gov.uk/ta...collectively set,dwelling and is index linked.Well still looks the same to me, pay and everything is ok

There's probably more if you search, also try natural England as they set the rules.That’s all well and good,and after a quick read through it tells you who they are claiming payment off, and how to pay,but not what they are going to do with the monies raised to
help the environment.
No sign of a solution for Norfolk this year. Government have told councils to block any rally or THS adjacent to a SSSI or close to a protected water source. We have the same issue from the New Forest (and Solent basin) all across Dorset (Poole harbour)We use a lot of THS,mostly,in Norfolk, to take the grandchildren away .

The council told us ALL waste water had to be tankered away and treated with documented evidence. The site is on mains drainage so ridiculous. Plus they wanted somewhere around £8 per night per unit payable up front for the entire 28 days at maximum usage. So 100+ pitches at £8 per night times 28. So I make that £22400 to the council.
Exactly the point I raised at director level at HQ. We have a very long email and letter trail with the local councils. None of them want to deal with the issue as they don't know what to charge or who can spend it on what. They are angry with Natural England and they just point to the legislation that the government have foisted on them to enhance green credentials. We can even prove that we have a proven track record going back decades with our members volunteering to work on environmental projects. As a matter of respect, we always leave a site in better condition than when we arrived.So that bares up my point, as long as we pay sod the environment’just like Khans ULEZ
I just can't see how it applies when you are using a site with mains drainage. Yes, makes sense for a campsite like at a music festival where it's all not on mains, but for a school site with mains water and drainage, it's massively massively overstating their position.Exactly the point I raised at director level at HQ.

The BS that keeps getting trotted out is Nitrate pollution from grey water runoff. Really? how about all the cows and horses using the land as a toilet 24/7?
This usually indicates that that particular THS is very popular and fills up fast.Thanks

Porth is on a commercial site and DA meets have a certain amount of spaces. Hence booking in advance. Porth is a brilliant spot to stay.Thanks

... but there are dozens available all over the country...Didn't renew my membership because of the THS cancellations
There haven't been any in Skegness for the last couple of years, the school academy one was fantastic. The last straw was when I was selecting alternatives last year and they were either also cancelled or booked up.. Oh we did manage 1 night at one near York on the motorcycles (my avatar photo)... but there are dozens available all over the country...
There are other places to go though, we often tour from one THS to another THS.There haven't been any in Skegness for the last couple of years
