DEFRA Transfers Administration of Exemption Certificates to Natural England As from 19 November 2007, the administration of the Camping and Caravanning Exemption Certificate Application process in England will transfer to Natural England (NE) who will assume responsibility for all applications (new and renewal) relating to England and all general enquiries concerning exemption applications including the procedures to be followed. The transfer will not involve any changes to the criteria used to determine whether an exemption certificate should be issued. However; there are proposals to introduce some procedural improvements to the application process, including the production of revised guidance notes and application forms for England. These will be available on the Natural England website in due course. Defra will retain policy and legislative responsibility for this area of work in England, so will continue to have a close interest in the issue of exemptions, albeit at a more strategic level. Head of the Defra Outdoor Recreation Team, Simon Hopkinson said, “We will be working hard, together with Natural England, to ensure that the transfer of responsibilities takes place as seamlessly as possible. However, some slight delays might occur in the short term as Natural England take up their new responsibilities. Applications and other enquiries are generally dealt with in order, by date of receipt. If urgent action is required this should be brought to Natural England's attention when the application or enquiry is submitted.” Contact details for Natural England are: Mrs Billie Kasht Natural England Room 118, Block 3 Government Buildings, Burghill Road Westbury on Trym Bristol. BS10 6NJ Tel: 0117 959 8659 Fax: 0117 959 8680 E-Mail: Billie.Kasht@naturalengland.org.uk These changes apply to England only. Applications from organisations based in Scotland and Wales should continue to be sent to:-
Mr Ian MacLean The Scottish Government Housing Markets and Supply Division Area 1-H Victoria Quay Edinburgh. EH6 6QQ Tel: 0131 244 5528 E-mail: Ian.MacLean@scotland.gsi.gov.uk
Mrs Joanna Gulliford Welsh Assembly Government Planning Division, Decisions Branch Department for Environment, Sustainability and Housing Cathays Park Cardiff. CF10 3NQ Tel: 029 2082 3883 E-mail: Joanna.gulliford@wales.gsi.gov.uk Changes to Geographic Coverage of Camping and Caravanning Exemption Certificates Guidance issued by the exemption certificate issuing authorities in England, Scotland or Wales has hitherto suggested that a certificate issued by any of these bodies is valid throughout Great Britain. Defra have now received advice that this is not the case and that Exemption Certificates issued in England, Scotland, and Wales are only valid in the country in which they were issued. To rectify this, Defra are sending all holders of current exemption certificates issued by themselves (or their predecessor Departments), an Extension Application Form for cover in Scotland and/or Wales that organisations requiring the exemption extension should complete and return as soon as possible. Defra will arrange with colleagues in Scotland and Wales for an additional Exemption Certificate to be issued as appropriate. If the form is not returned, then it will be assumed that another exemption is not required. Defra have also come to an agreement with colleagues in Scotland and Wales over revised arrangements for handling new and renewal applications. Where an organisation requires an exemption covering more than one country they will have the opportunity to make this clear on the application form. The administration that receives the original application will be responsible for processing it and for making appropriate arrangements with colleagues in the other countries where more than one certificate is required. Applicants will not be required to submit multiple applications. Mick Holmes; Association Secretary
