Park Rules for Fairview Park

In these rules:

• “Occupier” means anyone who occupies a park home
• “You” and “Your” Refers to a home owner and 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 the 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 home act 1983 as amended.

None of these rules have retrospective affect. Accordingly:

• They are to apply only from the date they take effect
• 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 apply (for so long as they live on the park) to the park owner and employees, with the exception of the following rules. 7.0, 13.0, 16.0, 17.0.

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