Clients wishing to purchase a property specifically to create a camping/caravan site should be aware of the following :-
- Full planning permission needs to be obtained from the Prefecture of the department which takes six months to a year to process and therefore the suspensive condition :
“Subject to planning permission for a Campsite” would not necessarily be accepted by the vendor.
- The equivalent of outline planning permission would be the agreement from the local Mayor that he sees no reason why there should be a problem and that he is favourable to the idea. In this case, the suspensive condition would be indicated as : “Subject to the mayor’s favourable agreement for a campsite”
- As indicated in the rules and regulations, all that is needed for Camping à la Ferme (6 placements) is the mayor’s verbal agreement - therefore if the client only requires this number of placements, the above condition would definitely suffice.
- For a client requiring a minimum of 25 placements, as indicated in the rules and regulations, the initial request needs to be given to the mayor but he will have to present a full proposal to the Prefecture for their decision. They may wish to highlight the number of placements within their suspensive condition: "Subject to the mayor’s favourable agreement for a campsite of up to 25 placements"
- For a client requiring permission for a larger campsite, the decision as to whether they can hold out in the compromis for full permission has really got to be down to a vendor - there is no reason why a vendor should be asked to wait over a year to complete on a sale; however, if this suits the vendor then that could work well for both parties.
