Glamping; what would you want?

The property is currently run as a Caravan Club site; initial enquiries with the DC and planning consultants indicate that there will not be a problem. Limiting numbers to 5 'vans sidesteps many PP issues. And if it transpires that it all goes tit's up, we'll have a lovely place to live, 5 1/2 acres of land, workshops, garages, in an enviable position. And some gypsy caravans in the garden.
Not sure of you can put an application in on a property that you don't actually own yet; you probably can. The use of 'may' and 'hopefully' was strictly in order not to tempt fate.
You can put in an application on the property without owning it, but best let the owners know first, and you do risk them changing their mind about selling and implementing your planning!Not sure of you can put an application in on a property that you don't actually own yet; you probably can.

I wouldn't include wood in the price...an important high margin profit line.
On that subject, run a small farm shop/fridge sideline for those who don't want to shop elsewhere and upsell to local activities to make additional revenues. The real profit comes from add-ons. Make some units even better than others and up sell for a super-profit. I had a hotel chain once which made money back on the enhancements for exec rooms within 6 months...
For the tents, take a look at Featherdown Farm's tented cabins...made in the Netherlands I believe.
