Supporting rural and coastal communities
BH&HPA has developed this manifesto on behalf of the parks industry. It identifies four key areas in which we will partner with Government to increase investment and growth in rural and coastal communities across the UK:
- Planning – reforming the planning system to recognise the role residential park homes play in providing local housing choice.
- Taxation – creating a fair tax and competitive environment which promotes domestic tourism.
- Employment – addressing skills gaps in rural and coastal communities to provide long-term employment opportunities.
- Energy – expanding grid capacity to enable the parks sector to embrace sustainable technologies such as heat pumps and Electric Vehicles.
We believe that by working with us on these four key areas, the next Government can support a thriving holiday and residential parks sector - one that provides more homes, more environmentally friendly domestic tourism, and more economic opportunities in rural and coastal communities across the UK.
