All sites including mobile homes, park homes, touring and holiday sites within the South Bucks District Council must be licensed. The Licensing Team are given powers to ensure that there are proper standards for safety and health before a licence is granted. Once licensed, sites are periodically inspected and visited by officers to make sure that the standards are being maintained.

Please Note:
If you have a complaint regarding a site which is licensed by South Bucks District Council or a site which you think may be unlicensed  please download the complaints form and return it to the Licensing Office to enable us to undertake an investigation.
