Permits & Access for Caravan Transport in East Midlands
Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire forces cover the area. The A52 and A158 are the main coastal routes to Skegness and Mablethorpe and take wide loads well, though some final coastal lanes are narrow. Summer holiday traffic makes July and August movements awkward, so spring and autumn are the practical windows.
Static caravans are abnormal loads, so the STGO notification to Lincolnshire Police / Nottinghamshire Police / Derbyshire Constabulary / Leicestershire Police and the mandatory escort are handled by your transporter as part of the job — typically allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
Caravan Transport FAQ — East Midlands
- Is the Lincolnshire coast accessible for static caravan transport?
- Yes, though some coastal roads are narrow and may require careful route planning for wide loads. The A52 and A158 are the main routes to Skegness and Mablethorpe. Your transporter will plan the final approach to your specific park based on the caravan width and road layout.
- What is the best time to move a caravan to the East Midlands coast?
- Most parks accept new caravans from late February to early May and again in September to October. Avoid July and August when holiday traffic on coastal roads makes abnormal load movements difficult. Spring is the busiest season for transport bookings.

- Yes. All reputable caravan transporters serving East Midlands carry goods-in-transit insurance covering your caravan during loading, transit, and unloading. Cover levels vary between £50,000 and £250,000 depending on the transporter — ask to confirm their policy limits before booking, and get written confirmation of cover if your caravan is worth more than the standard limit.
