Park Rules for Beaulieu Gardens Home Park

Preface

In these rules:

• "Occupier'' means anyone who occupies a park home, whether under an agreement to which the Mobile Home Act 1983 applies or under a tenancy or any other agreement.
• "You" and "your'' refers to the homeowner or other occupier of a park home
• "We" and "our'' refers to the park owner (Beaulieu Gardens Ltd)
• "The park'' refers to  Beaulieu Gardens Home Park only. The land outside the  boundary wall  next to park homes 7, 8, 15 and 16 is Beaulieu Gardens Retreat which is a licensed holiday park and as such has separate applicable park rules.

These rules are in place to ensure acceptable standards are maintained on the park, which will be of general benefit to occupiers, and to promote and maintain community cohesion. They form part of the Agreement by which homeowners occupy the pitch in accordance with the Mobile Homes Act 1983 as amended.

None of these rules is to have retrospective effect. No occupier who is in occupation at the time that the rules come into effect will be treated as being in breach due to circumstances which were in existence on that date and which would not have been in breach of the rules in existence before these rules came into effect.
