This is the outcome of the meeting we had with the site administrator and the independent engineer on 25/08/2022 at 10:15.
We transcribed the conversation as best as we could.
Although initially it was planned to have the engineer come over to inspect certain plots, ultimately this idea was abandoned for the day, the reason being listed further down.
The engineer had been tasked with writing a full report on the whole site - meaning each and every plot - for the council.
To do so he based his criteria on the laws referenced by the council, while taking a fairly strict approach in his work in order to be on the safe side.
Once the council has reviewed his report he will approach them with the intention of putting together a much more extensive and comprehensive rule book for the owners to use, clearing up some of the ambiguity present in the legal documents.
One example he used is the legal statement that "bungalows" are allowed to be sited on campsites, yet in this day and age the word "bungalow" can decribe a multitude of building types.
Apart from clearly defining the vague terms he also wants to find out if the council will concede on any point: if there are any faults which he has found but which the council aren't concerned about, he'll make sure people aren't forced to correct them.
At the same time he also needs to make sure there's nothing specific the council wants to add to his list of defects.
He understands how terribly disruptive this crisis is for the people on our site and he wishes to save as many people as much work and expense as possible, all while following the councils orders.
He hopes to publish this rule book sometime in September and, although the site needs to improve as soon as possible, he has asked people to hold off on carrying out any corrective work until November, so owners can be sure of what to do by then.
The long term goal is to get as many parcelas as possible to comply with the council's rules, in order to show that the site isn't a lost cause and that a majority of people are prepared to make their homes comply.
Once this has been achieved, the idea is to leave it to the council to use their authority to force the remaining parcelas to conform to the rules.
As an example he claimed that if 1900 of the roughly 2000 plots we have on camping (including the touring pitches which already comply) were to follow the rules then the remaining 100 would be reported to the council which would then take the necessary legal action agains these individuals.
The site administrator made it very clear that the only rules that count right now are those issued by the council.
These council rules supersede the following:
