What a meanwhile site is and how to apply.
What a meanwhile site is
A meanwhile site is an area of land that is vacant and awaiting future development.
Pitches on these sites are temporary and provide a safer alternative to living kerbside for people currently living full time in a vehicle.
These sites have limited facilities.
Site provisions include:
- fresh water
- chemical toilets and sewage waste disposal
- waste bins
Sites do not have electrical supply.
Vehicle dwellers must apply for a pitch on a meanwhile site and sign a site licence.
Pitch fees are charged on a weekly basis to contribute to the cost of managing the site.
Council Tax and meanwhile sites
A share of Council Tax costs will be included in pitch fees from April 2027.

Pitches on meanwhile sites are limited, but we're looking to provide more.
