MEADOW PARK RULES

Preface

In these rules:

"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 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,
• and no occupier who is in occupation at that time will be treated as being in breach due to circumstances which were in existence before that date.

These rules also apply (if and for so long as they live on the park) to the park owner and any employees.

You must keep any dog on a leash when it is on the public areas of the park and must not allow it to despoil the park.

Note

The express terms of a homeowner's agreement contain an undertaking on the part of the homeowner 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 a nuisance applies to visitors to the park.

Note

These rules do not have retrospective effect. If he 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.

16. Nothing in rule 15 of 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.
