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.
------------- 2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.
