Occupiers are required to comply with the regulations of the Site Licence, Water Authority or any other statutory authority. Park homeowners must not do, or allow to be done, anything to the home or the pitch, which might breach any of the conditions of the park owner’s site licence. A copy of the current site licence is attached.

Fences or other means of enclosure are not allowed without the written approval of the park owner. Fences of a reasonable height will be permitted between homes, but not between homes and the roads.

Trees on individual pitches are the responsibility of the tenants of those pitches. No fast growing trees (e.g. Leylandi) are permitted whatsoever.

Porches, sheds, garages, outbuildings, fences, fuel bunkers or other structures are only permitted with the prior written consent of the park owner and where permitted must be of a design, size and standard approved by the owner, and must be maintained in good repair and appearance.

No commercial enterprise or business activities may take place on the park without prior written permission from the park owner. If permission is granted, it will also require the park homeowner to obtain any other approval that may be required from the appropriate authority. ‘Business activities' shall be interpreted as including the running of mobile retailing and service van(s) e.g. grocery, fast food, etc, and the overhaul and repair of vehicles including personal motor vehicles owned by residents.
