School car parks as Aires?

I like your thinking , I have always considered schools to be the most underused facilities in the country.
Swimming pools are another public space with car parks and facilities that would not take a big investment to turn them into an Air. like the one in Askeaton co Limerick.
It would be interesting to know what costs would be involved in installing a barrier and a credit card machine.

Another one that is always in a prime location in towns and villages and never used at weekends are Council offices, and public

Happens a lot in NI with the MH & Caravan clubs using them, but it was only the clubs until lately.
GAA, Rugby and football clubs could also be used.

There is a network of ready made Aire's, if it could be implemented. It also brings us back to THIS

Insurance would no doubt be a problem,clubs like the ICCC have their own insurance which helps in dealing with sports clubs. Schools I think would be delighted with the income if they could overcome the insurance problem.

I have been to many schools,GAA,rugby clubs,with different motor home and caravan clubs,so it can be done,but you must have insurance.

Afraid it doesn’t work like that. We have a sports club and pay close on €2500 insurance each year plus additional premiums for open days if we have them.
We have 3 unofficial stopover pitches with EHU/Water and toilets, we cannot insure them unless we jump through hoops and comply with bullshit bureaucracy which we are not prepared to do and therefore they remain closed to the public and remain for members use only.
Afraid it’s a minefield regarding insurance, and cover will be denied if compliance isn’t 100%.
The price we pay for the “H&S” mentality is stifling any entrepreneurship with the fear of litigation... sad, ain’t it ?

Change of use isn't relevant.
A few years ago Galway City Council tried to stop the overnight parking at the Galway Harbour Company car park.
However, after it pointed out to them that the planning permission for the car park did not specify which category of vehicle may or may not park there, the council had to reverse their position on the matter.
Result, the overnight parking was reinstated.

The lesson learned was that once a car parking area has planning permission or is part of a development with planning permission, unless motor caravans, or any other category of vehicle, are specifically excluded in the grant of planning they may park there like any other vehicle.

Similarly, in relation to public liability insurance which includes cover related to parking of vehicles, if that cover does not restrict the category of vehicle there should be no problem.

All the above only applies to parking and any outside camping type of activity must be expressly forbidden.
