With a tent that size the car will go inside

Andy...blame the mrs she likes big things !

Im not that keen on a tent that big !

If your tent footprint is 8m x 4.5m and the pitch is 9m and 6m then you ain't gonna fit on it, as you need to allow at least 1m around the tent for your guys,meaning you'd need a pitch at least 10m x 6.5m!!

Some sites say your car (and any other extras) must all fit on your pitch, others just ask for your tent footprint.
Personally, I always give my tent size when booking and ask if their pitch size must include the car (as we sometimes need to take 2 cars)

I think the best thing to do would be give the site a ring and ask them.

Many of the sites that we use do not allow cars on the camping field, not even to unload. So it would be best for you to contact the campsite before you book.

Nowadays, tents and other equipment are getting so big and heavy that some folks must struggle to get their stuff from their cars to their pitches.

Other sites do insist you park in your pitch especially if you want EHU, I'd have to look carefully at these before booking.

What's the relevance of that rule ? Why would you need your car on the pitch if you require EHU, very strange.  If sites have carparks could your car not be left there, supposing you don't store things in it that you require daily.
