Park Rules for Clifton Fields

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 their pitch in accordance with the Mobile Homes Act 1983, as amended.

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 "yours" refers to the homeowner or other occupier of a Park Home.

"we" and "our" refers to the park owner.

None of these rules are to have retrospective effect. Accordingly:

they are to apply only from the date on which they take effect, which is 14th December 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 in breach of the rules in existence before that date.

These rules also apply to the Park Owner and any employees (for as long as they may live on the Park), with the exception to the following rules 1, 16, 25 & 28

GENERAL

1. The minimum acceptable age for occupiers is 55 years and no person/s below that age may reside in a home on this Park. The Park Owner reserves the right to approve additional permanent members of the occupier's household—a permanent member of the household means either spouse or approved partner. The approval must be in writing and that approval will not be unreasonably withheld in respect of someone aged 55 years and over.

The Park Home may be used by the occupier and bone fide guests. The occupier will at all times be responsible for the conduct of their guests. Guests may stay for a maximum of 6 weeks at any one time followed by a 28 day break before return.

2. To ensure adequate ventilation you must keep the underneath of your home clear and not use it as a storage space.
3. No fences of any material are permitted between the homes.
4. Washing lines, TV aerials and satellite dishes must be screened from public view where possible.
5. Trees and shrubs (maximum of 1 metre circumference) may be planted on the pitch but the occupier must ensure that any easement rights which exist with utilities companies are not breached.

Where the exterior of the Park Home is re-painted or recoated the only permitted colours are off white and shades of cream and beige. No other colours are acceptable.
10. No external alterations of/or additions to the Park Home or pitch are permitted without our written permission. This is to ensure compliance with the Site Licence conditions and that in the case when additions are proposed for the home itself that the concrete base upon which the home is sited can withhold the additional weight which such work may cause. Such permission will not be unreasonably withheld.
