Park Rules for Kings Acre Halt Caravan Site

In These Rules:

Occupier means anyone who occupies a park home, whether under a tenancy or any other agreement to which the mobile homes Act 1983 applies. "You" and "Yours" refers to the home owner or other occupier of a park home. "We" and "Ours" 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 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.

With one exception the rules also apply to any occupiers who rent their homes. The only rules that do not apply to the above said is Rule 26 about the exterior colour of the home as this would remain the responsibility of the home owner.

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                                                                                                                            and no occupier who is in occupation on that date will be treated as being in breach due to circumstances which were in existence before that date.

These rules also apply (for so long as they live on the park) to the park owner and any employees with exception to the age restriction rule no. 12.

1. For reasons of safety and ventilation the underside of the home and access areas should be kept clear for any required inspection.

2.

6. 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 and fire safety requirements.

7. You must not have any storage receptacle on the pitch other than the shed mentioned in rule 6 and any receptacle for the storage of domestic waste pending collection by the local authority.

However, you are at liberty to work individually from home by carrying out office work of a type which does not create a nuisance to other occupiers and does not involve other staff, other workers customers or members of the public calling at the park home or other park.

Noise Nuisance

13. You must not use musical instruments, any forms of recorded music players, radios and other similar appliances and motor vehicle so as to cause nuisance to other occupiers, especially between the hours of 10.30pm and 8.00am.

Pets

14. You must not keep any pets or animals except the following:

Not more than one dog (other than any of the dog breeds subject to The Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, which are not permitted at all). 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 and must not allow it to despoil the park.

Not more than one cat. You must keep any cat under proper control and must not permit it to frighten other users of the park or to despoil the park.

No pets are to be kept or housed outside of the park home as the resulting feeding issues can attract vermin and the consequential issues of disease and infection.

Note

The express term of a homeowners agreement contain an undertaking of the part of the owner 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 nuisance applies to tenants and again this includes the behaviour of pets and animals.

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 which these rules take effect. However, when a pet dies or leaves it can only be replaced if it complies with these rules.
