Park Rules for King Edward Park

Preface

• “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 and 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.

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 22 January 2016;
• 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

1. You must ensure that:
   1. The mobile home at all times complies with the statutory definition of a “mobile home” set out in the Mobile Homes At 1983 (or any definition that may subsequently supersede it) and

The mobile home is maintained at all times in a condition whereby it is capable of being moved from one pitch on the site to another.

2. You must not make any improvements to the pitch unless you have obtained our prior written approval (which will not be withheld or delayed unreasonably). Any improvements to the pitch must comply with the park’s site licence and fire safety requirements.

3. Occupiers are responsible for all electrical fittings and cabling from the meter situated on the pitch, to the mobile home and also the water supply pipe from the stopcock situated on the pitch (the stopcock being the responsibility of the park owner) to the mobile home.

4. The space between the base of the park home and the ground on which it stands must be kept clear at all times and it must not be used for storage.

5. The planting of trees and shrubs or erection of fences is subject to our prior approval (which will not be withheld or delayed) of types and position. Existing trees and shrubs on the common parts of the park must not be cut down removed or damaged.

6. You must not have external fires, including incinerators. However you are at liberty to use a barbecue or chimineas, provided it is used safely and sensibly.

7. You must not keep inflammable substances on the park except in quantities reasonable for domestic use.

8. You must not keep explosive substances on the park.

Storage

9. You must not have more than one storage shed on the pitch. Where you source the shed yourself the design, standard and size of the shed must be approved by us in writing (approval will not be withheld or delayed unreasonably). You must position the shed so as to comply with the park’s site licence conditions and fire safety requirements.

10. 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 park’s site licence conditions and fire safety requirements. The separation space is the space between your park homes and any neighbouring home.

Refuse

11. You are responsible for the disposal of all household, recyclable and garden waste in approved containers through the local authority service. You must not overfill containers and must place them in the approved position for the local authority collections.

12. You must not deposit any waste or rubbish other than in local authority approved containers on any part of the park (including any individual pitch).

Pets

13. You must not keep any pets or animals except the following:
    1. Not more than 1 dog (other than any of the breeds subject to the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 which are not permitted at all) which, when a fully grown adult, must be no bigger than 18 inches when measured from the base of the foot to the top of the shoulder when the dog is standing with its head erect.
    2. Not more than 1 domestic cat.

14. You must keep any dog under proper control and you must not permit it to frighten other users of the park. You must keep any dog on a leash not exceeding 1m in length and must not allow it to despoil the park.

15. Nothing in these park rules prevents you from keeping an assistance dog if this is required to support your disability and Assistance Dogs UK or any successor body has issued you with an Identification Book or other appropriate evidence.

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.
