Agden Brow Park | Park Rules
RULES FOR AGDEN BROW PARK, LYMM.
The following rules of occupation are for the good management of the park and the benefit of all who live on the park and who use it. These rules form part of the agreement by which you occupy your pitch in accordance with the Mobile Homes Act 1983.
-
The Home
- Only park homes (mobile homes) of proprietary manufacture which conform to the definition of a mobile home under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 (as amended) and the Mobile Homes Act 1983 are permissible on the Park. All replacement park homes must conform to British Standard 3632.
- Homes must be kept and maintained as originally manufactured so as to continue to comply with 1.1. Wheels must not be removed, nor the home repositioned, as this may cause the home to become in breach of the site licence conditions.
- Occupiers are cautioned against alterations to their homes which may inadvertently put them in breach of 1.1 and 1.2.
- Homes must be kept in a sound state of repair and clean condition. The external decoration must be maintained to a good standard.
- Any alteration to the home or extension to it (including the addition or replacement of a porch) is prohibited except with the prior approval in writing of the Owner who shall be entitled to inspect plans and drawings before deciding whether to give approval. Occupiers are reminded that most extensions will require planning permission, but that the grant of planning permission does not in any way bind the Owner to giving permission for an extension.
- The Occupier also agrees and covenants to insure and keep insured the mobile home and its contents with a member of the Association of British Insurers against loss or damage by theft, fire, storm and tempest and liability to any third party and such other risks. The Owner may from time to time reasonably require the Occupier to produce to the
Owner, upon request, the policy of such insurance and such evidence that the Owner may reasonably require that the policy is valid, current and all premiums have been paid.
-
Service Connections
- The electrical, water and drainage systems of the home, and the connections with the Park supplies, are the sole responsibility of the Occupier after the initial installation. The Occupier is responsible for the connection from the home up to the meter, unless the meter is sited away from the Pitch, whereby the Occupier is only responsible up to the connection with the Occupier’s Consumer Unit. It is also the Occupier’s responsibility to ensure that all electrical, solid fuel, oil and gas installations (where applicable), comply at all times with the various statutory requirements.
- All external water pipes shall be lagged against frost by the Occupier, who will be liable for any loss of water due to the Occupier’s failure to do so or from any other failure on the section of the water service for which the Occupier is responsible, i.e. from the first stop cock connection under the home upwards.
The Occupier is responsible for the sewage connection from ground level upwards and for electrical and gas connections from the meter housing unless the meter is sited away from the Pitch, whereby the Occupier is only responsible up to the connection with the Occupier’s Consumer Unit. The Occupier shall not permit waste water to be discharged onto the ground.
-
The Pitch
- Pitches, including gardens, must be kept clean and tidy. Gardens will be left in a tidy condition when the Occupier vacates the pitch.
- Rubbish or building materials must not be accumulated on any part of the Pitch and the area under the home should be kept free of obstruction and not used as a storage space.
- Where present on the pitch, fences must be maintained in good condition and treated with waterproof solutions as appropriate. Damaged fence panels shall be replaced promptly.
- The Owner shall be consulted before the planting of trees and shrubs as these can affect services buried in the ground.
- Trees must not be lopped, felled or removed without checking with the local planning authority whether they are subject to a Tree Protection Order (TPO).
- Only storage sheds, fuel bunkers or other structures which comply with the terms of the site licence are permitted. Sheds must be constructed of non-flammable materials. No flammable or explosive substances may be kept on the Pitch except in quantities reasonable for domestic use.
- All household and garden waste must be kept in wheelie bins or approved containers which must not be overfilled and must be placed in the approved position for weekly collections. No refuse shall be deposited on the Owner’s land.
- External fires, including incinerators, are not allowed.
- Disused/un-roadworthy vehicles must not be kept on the pitch.
-
Occupation
- The Park is for semi-retired or retired persons over the age of 50. No Occupiers under this age are permitted to occupy the home.
- Assigning or gifting the park home shall be governed by the key legislation contained in Chapter 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Mobile Homes Act (as amended) and in the Mobile Homes (Selling and Gifting) (England) Regulations 2013. The park rules apply to assignees and persons to whom a home is gifted.
- Sub-letting, for example taking in a lodger, or parting with possession of the whole or any part of the Park Home or Pitch, unless by way of assignment or gifting, is not permitted. Only the Occupier and members of his, or her, permanent household and bona fide guests may use the Park Home.
- The Occupier shall not use the home or permit the home to be used for commercial enterprise or business activities.
- The Occupier shall not use or permit the home to be used for illegal or immoral purposes.
-
Health & Safety
- All Park Homes must be equipped with a fire extinguisher/blanket, which conforms to the requirements of the Fire Officer. It is recommended that a fire extinguisher of the dry powder type not less than 2lbs capacity should be installed in each park home. Note: other types of fire extinguishers can be dangerous in confined spaces.
- The chimney flue and cowl of all park homes must be kept in good repair. Sparks or objectionable smoke should not be discharged.
- Occupiers erecting a TV aerial shall have suitable public liability insurance cover.
