Relevant protected sites

A relevant protected site is a site with planning permission for people to live there all year.

A holiday site isn't a relevant protected site but a mixed use site can be. Exemptions apply to family sites that are not run for financial gain.

Site rules

Protected sites can have site rules but they don't have to. If a site owner wants to introduce, remove or vary site rules, they must follow the correct procedure.

We must publish a register of any site rules made for protected sites in our area.

Please complete and return the form to submit site rules for publication.

How to submit site rules

To submit site rules to us for publication, please complete and return your application form to the Private Rented Housing team.

You will need to include:

All protected sites operated on a commercial basis must be managed by a fit and proper person. We must publish a register of fit and proper persons for protected sites in our district.
