PARK RULES FOR OAKLAND HILL ESTATE

PREFACE

In these rules:

• "Occupier" means anyone who occupies a park home under an agreement to which the Mobile Homes Act applies.
• "you" and "your" refers to the homeowner or other occupiers 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, which is Friday 13th February 2015; and

• no occupier who is in occupation on that date will be treated as in breach due to circumstances which were in existence on that date and which would not have been a breach of the rules before that date.

RULES:

CONDITION OF THE PITCH

1. You must keep all aspects of your pitch in a clean and tidy condition. If you do not comply with this condition you will be given 28 days written notice to do so, following which we reserve the right to take any remedial action deemed necessary at your expense.

2. The erection of fences or other means of enclosure must have the prior written permission of the park owner (which will not be unreasonably refused having taken account of any Planning stipulations and likely impact on neighbours or the appearance of the park).

3. External fires are not allowed, with the exception of barbecues, although care must be taken to position them at least 2 metres away from any park home, fence or other flammable material.

4. No flammable substances may be kept on the park except in quantities reasonable for domestic use.

STORAGE

5. A storage shed, constructed of non- combustible materials, providing not less than 1.75 square metres of covered storage space, is required on each pitch in order to satisfy site licence conditions. The design, size and standard of the shed must be approved by us in writing. (Approval will not be unreasonably withheld).
