Right this is a long story!
I live in a nice area of Scarborough house prices on my street are around 250-300k so it a nice street. In front of the house when we moved in was a caravan park for holidays, only families used to go and it was no bother at all. But it all changed.
The guy that owns the caravan site apparently got planning permission to allow people to stay there all year round. We have had nothing through the door and neither have are neighbours. He has then removed all but 3 static caravans which are now being lived in by people. Police are turning up most nights and they are speeding backwards and forwards past our house with cars running on chip fat( you can imagine the type of people we are dealing with) they also have a generator running most nights.
The next thing we have heard is that they havnt got planning permission to live there all year so the guy gives them a new contract every 6 months to avoid that law. That seems fraudulent to me. They have been adding standard caravans and now horses and chickens and it looks like a gypsy camp.
We then got news that they are leaving as the guy that owns the land has now sold it...to gypsies.
Does anyone know about laws on living in a caravan site all year, of if these guys are breaking the law in any way? I have tried ringing the counsil but they said they are allowed to be be there and that we should not have any problem.
I'm really annoyed because we pay huge counsil tax bills and rates to live here and they are living there and worse still not working.
Any help or advice without the use of an airel bombardment would be really great.
