The covering email noted ‘… there is an urgent outstanding question about the definition of ‘self-contained accommodation,’ which we will provide clarification on as soon as possible’. Whilst we await that response, the questions which are most pertinent to BH&HPA members’ businesses include:

Day visits

No earlier than 29 March

Q. From 29 March: When the stay-at-home rule is lifted, are people allowed to travel to visit/maintain/collect belongings from their caravans on parks although the holiday park would be closed by law? And can owners of a self-catering property visit it ahead of reopening in Step 2 for cleaning and maintenance?

A. From 29 March, people are permitted to travel to visit, maintain, clean and collect belongings from their self-catering properties and their caravans on parks which are currently closed, but people should minimise travel where possible.
