3.(1) An application for the issue of a site licence in respect of any land
may be made by the occupier thereof to the [district council] in whose
[district] the land is situated.

(2) An application under this section shall be in writing and shall specify
the land in respect of which the application is made; and the applicant shall,
either at the time of making the application or within such period as the
[district council] may determine, give to the [district council] such
particulars, set out in such form, as the Ministry of Health and Local
Government (in this Act referred to as "the Ministry") may by order prescribe.

(3) A [district council] may on an application under this section issue a
site licence in respect of the land if, and only if, the applicant is, at the

for the use of the land as a caravan site granted under the [Planning
(Northern Ireland) Order 1972 (in this Act referred to as "the Order of

aforesaid, the [district council] shall, on the payment by the applicant of a
fee of ten pounds, issue a site licence in respect of the land within two
months of that date or, if the applicant and the [district council] agree in
writing that the [district council] shall be afforded a longer period within
which to grant a site licence, within the period so agreed.

(5) If the applicant becomes entitled to the benefit of such a permission as
aforesaid at some time after duly giving the particulars prescribed under
sub-section (2) the [district council] shall, on the payment by the applicant
of a fee of ten pounds, issue a site licence in respect of the land within six
weeks of the date on which he becomes so entitled or, if the applicant and the
[district council] agree in writing that the [district council] shall be
afforded a longer period within which to grant a site licence, within the
period so agreed.

(6) Notwithstanding anything in sub-sections (1) to (5), a [district council]
shall not at any time issue a site licence to a person who to their knowledge
has held a site licence which has been revoked in pursuance of this Act less
than three years before that time.
