Holiday home length of stay

My parents have a holiday home which they plan to live in for 9 months and then live with me and my husband for 3 months. Can anyone advise if they are allowed to do this? The complications I can see is that although they would be registered at my address they would not be paying council tax and therefore would not be able to show proof of this to the site owner where the caravan is located. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

So when you say "holiday home", you mean a static caravan on a site somewhere?
I rather suspect that the site owner would notice their presence for nine months, so the paperwork will not be a major factor in convincing them that things are different from what they seem...0 -
If they're living (lodging) with you they don't have to pay council tax. They would presumably register on the electoral roll at your address and also use it as the contact address for bank accounts, pensions etc.Are you looking for an excuse to say no?0

As long as the holiday home isn’t being used as your sole dwellings (also known as a residential holiday home), you won’t be liable to pay council tax on it. However, many parks will have rules on how long you can occupy the caravan.

A lot of parks allow you to reside there for up to 11 months of the year. Depending on what their individual park's agreement is, then yes they are "allowed to do this".
Why do they need to provide proof of their alternative address to the site owner? Is it so the site owner knows they have somewhere to reside for the time they cannot be on site?0
