My question is am I allowed to move the caravan during COVID lockdown ? Can I move it to the new site, move it to my home or am I snookered and need to renew when I dont want to simply due to lockdown ?
No, no and no.
Not essential, is it?
If you are totally desperate, you could use a commercial business to move it.

I came into this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

A friend of ours was in the same situation, their van was on a seasonal site, and was asked to remove. he contacted his local authority, and the authority where the van was, then contacted both police constabularies.
he was given permission from all involved, and was issued a permit to move, which was dated for one day.
hope this helps
regards David.

Thanks for all your advice, a tricky one really. I would literally not speak or mix with a sole. Take it, drop it off and return home without speaking to anyone and although I may not be allowed to do that I can mix in a supermarket with 80 strangers ?!
I'll contact my local council to see what they say before I take the plunge.
Thanks
Yes the rules do seem a bit contrary at times don't they. But I agree with what others have said about being seen towing a caravan, it would be a magnet for a police stop if you were seen. Check with the council and the police and see what they say.

Best Regards,

The rules are 'essential travel'. You are not renewing a contract, therefore your van has to be shifted. If you can prove - from the storage, that it has to be off site on a given day, i would move it without 'asking' anyone. You aren't doing it for fun, but necessity.

I can't offer any legal expertise on interpreting 'the rules' in this context and I rather doubt that even the people that wrote them could. However, my answer to "what would you do" is exactly what Mick S and Webmaster have said.

I would move it, it is essential if the contract is up and it needed to be moved, I took the motorhome out yesterday for a run as it would sieze or battery would die if sat for to long, 2 police officers over took me on the m42, not even a double glance. I didn't mix with anyone, just took it out for half an hour.

"it would seize or battery would die" interesting theory! My motorhome sat for nine months and started first turn, solar panel kept battery topped up. Engine and brakes not seized.
