How are pitches allocated?
A waiting list is kept of all the applicants who want to be offered a pitch. When a pitch becomes available for letting it will normally be let to the applicant who has been on the waiting list the longest. However, there may be situations when this general rule does not apply. For example, if there is only one pitch available for let and applicant (A) who has the earliest date of application already has a lease on another site and, applicant (B) who applied after applicant (A) does not have a site to stay on then the offer of the pitch may be made to applicant (B), as they have the most need for a place on an authorised site.
If we are not able to contact you to offer you the lease of a pitch then the offer will be made to the next applicant on the waiting list (on the basis of date of application) as long as there is no other applicant with greater need.
