Welcome to www.perfect-pitching4caravansites.org. We trust that the experience will prove to be interesting, informative and thought provoking, but not necessarily in that order. 

​

For the avoidance of doubt, please be advised that www.perfect-pitching4caravansites.org is not intended to deliver design solutions or formal planning advice as it is not professionally qualified in those fields. What it does set out to do initially is to consider the suitability of a landholding for potential development into a Small Private Caravan Site:

​

•    General Topographical Requirements - summarises some of the more common attributes a landholding should possess

          such as to be suitable for development:

 

Secondly, consider various elements of design in the development of same with a view to the developer achieving the following goals.

​

•    A balance between cost and service provision through value engineering ensuring the level of specification provided is appropriate to the      project considering such issues as:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  •   What needs to be provided to make the facility functional and meeting the basic requirements of would-be visitors:                                            
    •   Typically, this would include:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
  •   What enhancement can economically be provided to meet the aspirations of would-be visitors.                                                                             
    •   Typically, this could include all the above plus:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
  •   What facilities can be provided setting the development ahead of it's competitors in the free market that is the Small Private Caravan        Site pitching:                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
    •   Typically, this could include all the above plus:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

              (Please see 'Design Considerations' topic listings for relevant aspects, comment and/or observation).

•    A balance between retaining the rural aesthetics of a Small Private Caravan Site whilst at the same time providing service level demanded     by the modern-day caravaner.      

                                                                                                                                                                            

•    A balance between the level of investment and potential return appropriate to a Small Private Caravan Site.

 

We sincerely hope that the information provided through www.perfect-pitching4caravansites.org will be such that you can make informed decisions as to the economics and practicalities of developing a Small Private Caravan Site in the first instance and operating it thereafter.                  

In order to consider the potential return on investment it may first be beneficial to appreciate the contribution made to the National Economy by the Holiday Park and Campsite Sectors both in terms of Gross Value Added (GDA) and Full Time Employees (FTE).
