PARK RULES FOR CRABTREE GREEN 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” 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 other occupiers of park homes who rent their home.

The only rule which does not apply to occupiers who rent their home is rule two 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 (date to be confirmed); 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.

1. Only mobile homes of proprietary manufacture which conform to the definitions contained in the caravan sites and control of development act 1960, the caravan sites act 1968 and the mobile homes act 1975, 1983/2004 are acceptable and must comply to site license Regulations and the written statement agreement in all respects.

2. Homeowners must maintain the outside of their park homes in a clean and tidy condition. Where the exterior is repainted or recovered, occupiers must use reasonable endeavours not to depart from the original exterior colour scheme

3. You must not make any alterations or additions to the pitch unless you have first obtained our consent in writing, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

4. For reasons of ventilation and safety you must keep the underneath of your home clear and not use it as a storage space.

17. You must ensure that any shed or other structure erected in the separation space between park homes is of non-combustible construction and positioned so as to comply with the parks site licence conditions and fire safety requirements. The separation space is the space between your park home and any neighbouring home.

Note

The express term 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.

Note

These rules do not have retrospective effect. If the keeping of the pet complied with the previous rules, an occupier will not be treated as being in breach when these rules take effect. However, when the pet dies or leaves it can only be replaced if this would com ply with these rules.

23. You must not use or display guns, firearms and offensive weapons, including crossbows, on the park you may only keep them on the pitch or in your home if you hold the appropriate licence and they are securely stores in accordance with that licence.
