PARK RULES FOR CARLIGHT GARDENS PARK
Preface
In these rules:
- "occupier" means anyone who occupies a park home, whether under an Agreement to which the Mobile Homes 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", "us" and "our" refers to the park owner.
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.
With one exception the rules also apply to any occupiers of park homes who rent their home.
The only rule which does not apply to any occupiers who rent their home is rule 31 about the colour of the exterior of the home, as someone renting their home would not be responsible for exterior maintenance.
None of these rules is to have retrospective effect. Accordingly:
- they are to apply only from the date on which they take effect, which is 1st September 2014 and
- no occupier who is in occupation on that date will be treated as being in breach due to circumstances which were in existence on that date and which would not have been a breach of the rules in existence before that date.
These rules also apply (for so long as they live on the park) to the park owner and any employees, with the exception of the following rules 12 and 26.
Condition of the Pitch
- For reasons of ventilation and fire safety you must keep the underneath of your park home clear and not use it as a storage space.
- You must not erect fences or other means of enclosure without our prior written approval (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). You must position fences or other means of enclosure so as to comply with the Park's site licence conditions and fire safety requirements.

- You must not keep inflammable substances on the Park except in reasonable quantities for domestic use.

Note
The express terms of a homeowner's agreement contain an undertaking on the part of the homeowner not to allow anything which is or becomes a nuisance, inconvenience or disturbance to other occupiers at the park and this undertaking extends to the behaviour of pets and animals. A similar requirement not to cause a nuisance applies to tenants and again this includes the behaviour of pets and animals.
