Permits & Access for Caravan Transport in South West England
Devon & Cornwall, Avon & Somerset and Dorset forces cover the peninsula. The M5 to Exeter is the easy part; beyond it routes thin out and the final mile to a clifftop park can mean single-track lanes or even a crane over a hedge. A 12ft load has far fewer options than a 10ft, so access is checked carefully before booking.
Static caravans are abnormal loads, so the STGO notification to Devon & Cornwall Police / Avon & Somerset Police / Dorset Police and the mandatory escort are handled by your transporter as part of the job — typically allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
