Motorhome Parking

[smartie1]

threads on CPZ and wheelie bins blocking spaces seem popular so I thought I?d raise another one.

Large motor homes parked for weeks on end (as obviously not used that regularly) parked outside living room windows blocking light and taking at least 2 parking spaces! Would a CPZ permit be charged double for such a vehicle?

Pretty irritating

[uncleglen]

the worst thing about large vehicles outside your home is that it provides some cover for would-be burglars

Completely agree, smartie1. One on our road. The owners obviously don't care about the rest of us.

If you pay your road tax and car insurance you can park anywhere you want

Some of these have people living in them on the street. Is that legal??

[flocker spotter]

does it matter?

[micromacromonkey]

It's a real bugbear of mine. I think a 'tortious nuisance' would cover it?

You can certainly spend a night or two in your campervan on the public highway, but you can't permanently camp somewhere without landowner's permission (TFL or local council I assume). It's probably a grey area as to when a quick stay became a camp.

why don't they just go and buy a house like everyone else?

Not everyone can afford a house, Especially with the extortionate prices nowadays!

It's a matter of time before people start to lose their houses & become homeless!

Pretty sure FS was being somewhat ironic...

Are you seriously telling me you would be fine with people living outside your house?

What happens to all their rubbish or sewage?
