PARK RULES FOR LAMB COTTAGE CARAVAN PARK

Preface

In these rules:

• “Occupier” means anyone who occupies a park home, whether under agreement to which the mobile home 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 owners.

The following 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. These rules form part of the agreement by which you occupy your pitch in accordance with the mobile homes act 1983, as amended.

The rules are taken from the model standards recommended by the British holiday & home parks association, of which we are members, and are designed to ensure that all park home resident’s may live peacefully in unspoilt surroundings and have not been compiled to place unnecessary restrictions on residents. We are sure that, provided the rules are accepted in the right spirit, our park will continue to be a happy community.

None of these rules is to have retrospective effect. Accordingly:

• They are to apply only from the date on which they take effect 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.

Complying with the parks site licence

Park home owners must not do, or allow to be done, anything to the home or the pitch which might breach any of the conditions of the park owner’s site licence. A copy of the current site licence is available for inspection at the park office.

Condition of the pitch

1. For reasons of ventilation and safety you must keep the underneath of your home clear and not use it as storage space.

2. You must not erect fences or other means of enclosure above a maximum height of one meter (unless they are constructed of non-combustible materials) and you have obtained our approval in writing (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). You must position fences or any other means of enclosure so as to comply with the site license conditions and fire safety requirements.

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

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

Storage

6. Sheds, fuel bunkers or other structures must be of a design, size and standard approved by us in writing, (which will not be withheld or delayed unreasonably) and must be maintained in good repair and appearance.

7. 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 parks site licence conditions and fire safety requirements. The separation space is the space between your park home and any neighbouring home.

Business activities

10. You must not use the park home, the pitch or the park (or any part of the park) for any business purpose, and must not use the park home or the pitch for the storage of stock, plant, machinery or equipment used for any business purpose.

Note
