[Talk-GB] Static caravan or chalet? Possible language issue?

[Dudley Ibbett]

In the UK the use of static caravans is based on planning law.  I.e the accommodation cannot be constructed on site.  I don’t think this is relevant in Europe so chalets constructed on site are much more common and this has most likely resulted in this tag.

As someone that has a campervan, I really want to know, ideally for the top level tag, whether I can use the site.  Using tourism=chalet for sites that just have static caravans that can be hired out might not be a bad idea in this context and may explain why the tag has been changed.

But a chalet is not a site - a chalet is closer to an individual static caravan.  So tourism=chalet for the whole park is wrong

Not saying whether or not it's wrong, but "tourism=chalet" is widely used both for chalet parks and individual chalets on parks.  I had to use the building tag to try and differentiate - see https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/master/style.lua#L6884 and https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/mkgmap_style_ajt/blob/master/transform_03.lua#L5547 .
