PARK RULES FOR HERONS PARK

These site regulations form part of the agreement between you and Herons Park to occupy the park for either a short or extended period of time. They will be reviewed periodically to ensure that they are in keeping with the needs of both the owner of the site, ‘Herons Park’ and the existing occupants, and any changes will be clearly highlighted to you. In the event that you disagree with any such changes, you must advise us in writing so that your objection can be addressed. Please note that failure to adhere to the Site Rules may result in your eviction from the Park and in addition, in the case where you hold a right to transfer your agreement (Residential owner/occupiers protected by the Mobile Homes Act 2013), these rules will apply immediately to any proposed purchaser or new occupant. Herons Park reserves the right to make exceptions upon application, or to enforce any rule previously not enforced in order to preserve the amenity of the site as a whole.

1. PERMITTED OCCUPIERS OF THE PARK

1. Residential Park Homes and/or Static Caravans may only be occupied by the owner(s) of the unit and may not be sublet in any way for any length of time. Owner-occupiers must, when asked, provide Herons Park with proof of identity and ownership along with all documentation for the unit including but not limited to current Certificate of Insurance, and valid Safety Certificates which are a requirement.

2. Residential Occupants should fit a list of criteria in keeping with the majority of our other residents in order to maintain the amenity and balance of the site. Adult occupants should be a minimum of 45 years old with children no younger than 10 years old. New or proposed residents should be willing to undergo basic credit and background checks that show no association with any drug or violence related crimes and must be able to demonstrate their ability to pay for ongoing financial liabilities such as ground rent.

3. All visitors to the site must be able to demonstrate that they are of good standing with no criminal history relating in particular to drugs or violence. In the event that any concerns of a person’s character are raised, we reserve the right to investigate and prohibit that person from re-entering the site. Bans not respected or observed may be taken further through the County Court.

2. OCCUPATION OF THE PARK

1. Park Homes, Touring Caravans, Motorhomes, or Tents sited on Herons Park are to be used for residential or leisure purposes only and not for conducting business or any commercial enterprise without prior written permission from the site owner or appointed manager(s).

5. All occupiers must observe the Local Authority’s Recycling and Waste procedures and use the correct receptacles provided. No bulky items e.g. furniture are to be “dumped” or put in the park bins – these types of items should be taken to the nearest local tip.

3. PERSONAL CONDUCT

1. Residents and Campers are to remain fully responsible for the conduct of all occupiers and/or visitors to their pitch.

3. Ball playing and throwing games are not permitted near to Park Homes, Motorhomes, or Vehicles. Occupiers and guests of Herons Park may use the play area in front of The Heron building or the centre of the camping field (avoiding any temporary caravans or tents) entirely at their own risk without any liability on the part of the site owners or their staff.
