PARK RULES FOR BEECHFIELD PARK

IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE

IF YOU INTEND TO IMPROVE YOUR PITCH, OR TO CARRY OUT EXTERNAL OR STRUCTURAL ALTERATIONS TO YOUR HOME, WRITTEN CONSENT MUST BE OBTAINED FIRST, SUBJECT TO THIS CONSENT NOT BEING UNREASONABLY WITHHELD.

The following Site Rules are intended to ensure that acceptable standards are maintained on the Park for the benefit of residents generally, and to promote and maintain community cohesion on the Park.

These Rules form part of the terms of the occupation agreement between the Park owner and each resident living on the Park, and must be followed to ensure that good order is maintained on the Park at all times for the benefit of all occupiers.

Introduction

These rules will not have retrospective effect, meaning that they will only apply from the date on which they take effect. No occupier who is in occupation on that date will be in breach of these rules by reason of any circumstances known to the Park owner which were in existence on that date and which would not have been a breach of the previous Park rules.

Definitions

In these rules:

"occupier" means anyone who occupies a park home on the Park, whether under an agreement to which the Mobile Homes Act 1983 (as amended) applies, under a tenancy agreement, or under any other form of agreement;

"you" and "your" means the occupier or occupiers of a park home on the Park; and "we", "us" and "our" means the Park owner.
