PARK RULES FOR FINEBURN PARK
Preface
In these rules, because the Park is a mixed Park, having both residential and holiday pitches:
- "occupier" means anyone who occupies a park home/caravan/lodge/chalet 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/s or other occupier/s of a park home! caravan/lodge/chalet
- "we" and "our" refers to the park owner/s
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, in the case of residential owner/occupiers. They are also applicable to any occupier as defined above,
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 expected to be November 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
Condition of the Pitch
- For reasons of ventilation and safety you must keep the underneath of your unit clear and not use it as a storage space.
- You must not erect fences or other means of enclosure. The policy on the Park is to be open-plan. The only exception is decks which can be described as a means of enclosure. Decks must be positioned so as to comply with the Park's Site Licence conditions and fire safety requirements and so as not to encroach on any neighbouring pitch.
- You must not keep inflammable substances on the Park except in quantities reasonable for domestic use.
- You must not keep explosive substances on the Park.
Storage
- You must not have more than one storage shed on the pitch. The design, standard and size of the shed must be approved by us in writing (approval will not be withheld or delayed unreasonably) .

The separation space is the space between your unit and the neighbouring unit.

Noise Nuisance
- You must not use musical instruments, all forms of recorded music players, radios and other similar appliances and motor vehicles so as to cause a nuisance to other occupiers, especially between the hours of 10.30pm and 8.00am. This also applies to singing and shouting.

Note
The express terms of a residential 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 holiday occupiers 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 comply with these rules.
