Kelkherd House, Main Street, Nocton
You may remember a planning application (13/0054/FUL) submitted for this property a while ago. The application was for a 'new gateway and moveable shelter' with a purpose outlined as 'Garden and paddock' - this was subsequently approved.
It now transpires there is more to this application than meets the eye. Please see the notice that was posted recently outside the property:
"Caravan Club
Certificated Locations - 5 Motor Caravans/Caravans/Trailer Tents
The Caravan Club, East Grinstead House, East Grinstead, West Susstex, RH19 1UA
Telephone: 01342 326944 Fax: 01342 327653 www.caravanclub.co.uk
Proposed Certificated Location at KELKHERD HOUSE, NOCTON
Under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960, The Caravan Club was granted the privelage of being able to issue an annual certificate to the occupiers of the land, approving it to be used for the temporary siting of up to five (5) touring caravans, motor caravans or trailer tents at any one time, solely for the use of our members for recreational purposes.
Caravan Club members are required to conduct themselves responsibly by following the Country Code and the Club monitors the operation of Certificated Locations (CLs) in accordance with statutory rules which may be supplemented by appropriate additional conditions.
An application has been received from the owner of this land and The Caravan Club is considering whether it is appropriate to issue a certificate. If you have any objections to this proposal they may be made in writing (quoting the land's address) before 11th November 2013.
To: Head of Estates
The Caravan Club
East Grinstead House
East Grinstead
RH19 1UA
The Club will consider the appropriateness of this application, taking into account access, effect on the landscape and the views of neighbouring owners and other individuals who may be affected by the proposal."
I believe the local Parish Council are aware of the situation.

Finally you may like to note that no planning permission is required to operate these Certificated Location sites - it is purely within the remit of the Caravan Club to grant permission as long as they meet their criteria for operation. Personally, I find this quite astonishing given that caravans can be on-site for up to 28 days.
