Unauthorised encampments

Unauthorised encampments on privately owned land

Where unauthorised camping takes place on private land it is the landowner's responsibility, and they must decide what action to take. Private landowners are able to progress immediately to eviction without the needs to carry out welfare checks. Public bodies are required by law to consider the human rights of groups, and to complete a welfare check before considering what steps to take.
