Dear Mr Genders
Further to your Freedom of Information Request received into this building
on 1st August 2018 regarding the overnight motor home ban on Beachlands.
1. Please see attached the fire safety report that was carried out in
relation to the Beachlands West area. Please follow the link to the
cabinet report and information used to make the decision
- [1]http://havant.moderngov.co.uk/ieListDocu...
2. A motor home has been defined as any vehicle that has been adapted to
sleep in.
3. A cost analysis has not been carried out as overnight enforcement was
undertaken when motor homes were permitted to park within the car
park.
4. A number of notices were placed in the Beachlands West Car Park
advising of the ban. Our Civil Enforcement Officers also handed out
leaflets to motor home owners within the car park in the week leading
up to the ban.
5. A Penalty Charge Notice issued to a motor home in contravention of
this ban is for £70, reduced to £35 if paid within 14 days.
Please contact me again if you require any further assistance on this
