We were on a CL earlier this year, 5 hardstand pitches plus 4-6 more pitches in the adjacent field, accessed driving through the CL. All EHU, all had a tap, one loo & one shower.
CLs get inspected, I don’t know how often, but I don’t know if additional pitches come under some other scheme (farm diversification? I’m guessing.)
Notwithstanding that, I wouldn’t get too excited about expanding the site until you’ve had a year running the one with the house. You may find you’re rarely fully booked, or that 5 is plenty to deal with, or the income barely covers the cost of refurbishing the toilet & shower (or installing them). I know a house that sold with a CL in the garden, the sale particulars said it brought in £2K pa, that would be about 10 years ago.
There are several site owners on UKCS, hopefully they’ll come on & advise with first hand knowledge.
