Ward Councillors advised that Mr Taylor must advise the relevant officers in County Hall, Health and Safety, comply with any planning rules and legalities. He mentioned possible air b n b, and was advised that it wasn’t 60 days as he had been told by the owner, but a maximum 28 days per year for caravan stays. Ward Councillors informed that current planning approvals for the fort are registered on the ERYC portal, and that there are grants available for heritage sites.
