Wiltshire Council has brought a successful prosecution against licence holders of a Wiltshire campsite after multiple offences.
William Grant and Susan Grant, licence holders of Stonehenge Campsite & Glamping, located on Berwick Road, Winterbourne Stoke, Salisbury, were sentenced at Salisbury Magistrates Court on 11 October after pleading guilty to multiple offences related to their site licence conditions under the Caravan Sites & Control of Development Act 1960.
The charges, which were brought against both Mr. and Mrs. Grant of Berwick Road, Winterbourne Stoke, Salisbury, stem from violations of their licence conditions related to the management and operation of their caravan touring site.
The specific charges were operating the site without a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to ensure the site's electrical installation is safe for continued use and permitting the use of the touring site for residential accommodation, which is contrary to its intended use as a caravan touring site.
- For charge 1, William Grant was fined £1,600, and Susan Grant received a fine of £600.
- For charge 2, William Grant was fined an additional £1,000.
Additionally, William Grant has been ordered to pay £5,000 in costs.
Cllr Phil Alford, Cabinet Member for Housing, said: “We have a very important role to play in ensuring the safety of campsites such as this, and this case highlights the importance of adhering to the legal requirements that govern the safe operation and proper usage of caravan sites. Failure to meet these obligations not only results in significant financial penalties but can also jeopardise the safety and wellbeing of site occupants. We will continue to take strong action and use all means available to us to prosecute campsites that endanger the public.”
