odd...we've just come back from a C&CC site and we like to have our camper sort of across the back of the pitch with the awning on the front (90deg to most of the other caravans) and the site bloke couldn't have cared less...as long as we didn't go over the pitch size ( and even then I don't think he'd have bothered).

Cant see why it would be a problem...

Licence conditions

Section 5 of the Caravan sites and Control of Development Act allows a Local Authority to impose conditions in the interest of the persons dwelling in the caravans, or of any other class of persons, or of the public at large.
Licence conditions can include:-

• the periods of use
• the type of caravan, e.g. residential, static holiday or touring
• the permitted density (the number per acre/hectare) and the spacing between caravans
• state of repair and type of caravans
• water supply and drainage; lavatory and washing facilities
• fire precautions and electrical installations

A copy of the licence must be displayed on the site if four or more caravans are permitted on the site.

Reasons for conditions

• The numbers may be limited to have regard to planning or highway considerations to maintain amenity or privacy.
• Seasonal use may be required as a planning condition to prevent residential use of sub-standard accommodation, or to preserve the quiet amenity of the area during closed periods.
• Spacing of the caravans is predominantly for fire consideration, but privacy and noise nuisance are also factors.
• Road surfaces are covered to prevent danger and dust nuisance.
• The minimum distances from sanitary disposal points etc are to prevent nuisance and improve hygiene.
• The site name must be displayed for easy identification by emergency services.

Nothing in there specifying which way the doors must face or which way round the van must be,just the required spacing.
