Park Rules For Little London Park

Preface

In these rules:

• "occupier" means anyone who occupies a park home, whether under an agreement to which the Mobile Homes Act 1983 applies
• "you" and "your" refers to the homeowner or other occupier of a park home us
• "we and "our" 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.

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 3rd February 2015; and
