Caravans,<br />

Toilet and<br />

facilities<br />
To ensure that individual sites<br />
adequately accommodate a caravan,<br />
motorhome, camper trailer, cabin<br />
or tent and provide a high level<br />
of amenity and privacy for park<br />
occupants.<br />
Adequate and convenient toilet<br />
ablution facilities are provided for<br />
caravan and tent occupants.<br />
P1 All caravan sites are located<br />
so that caravans can be easily<br />
manoeuvred onto or removed from<br />
the site from internal roads.<br />
P2 Adequate space for parking a car<br />
is incorporated into each site.<br />
P3 Parks accommodate the needs<br />
of people with disabilities.<br />

conveniently located toilet and<br />
ablution facilities are provided for<br />
each gender.<br />
P2 Individual toilets, showers or<br />
baths are screened to provide<br />
absolute privacy to the user, with<br />
inside locks. Buildings housing<br />
toilet and ablution facilities are<br />
constructed of impervious and<br />
durable materials, so that they can<br />
be maintained in sanitary condition.<br />
The buildings have adequate<br />
lighting and are properly ventilated.<br />
P3 At least 1 toilet cubicle is<br />
provided that is accessible by<br />
wheelchair users. Such facilities,<br />
denoted ‘unisex’, allow access and<br />
use by people with disabilities and<br />
a helper. Unisex facilities also give<br />
access to young children, with a<br />
parent of either gender.<br />

toilet block has at least 1 sanitary<br />
disposal unit.<br />
