14. CONDITION OF PITCH AND MOBILE HOMES

Occupiers shall keep and maintain their mobile homes and pitches in a good state of repair and decoration. No external alteration of or addition to the mobile home or site is permitted without the prior agreement in writing of the park owners, who may not withhold consent unreasonably. No inflammable substances may be kept in the park except in quantities reasonable for domestic use. No explosive substances may be kept on the park. Occupiers shall use their best endeavours to maintain the site in a neat, clean and tidy condition.

15. BOUNDARIES

The boundaries of the park and its individual units are as determined by the professional survey carried out in July 2013. However, in some instances, occupiers have extended their external boundaries on to land outside the park. If the occupiers can substantiate their claims to these boundary variations, the site owners are unlikely to have any objection. In accordance with Section 22 of the Mobile Homes Act 2013, full description of individual pitches will be supplied by the park owners on payment of the appropriate fee. No other plans of the individual plots will be acceptable on change of ownership. The site owners are only responsible for the maintenance of the external park boundaries. Occupiers are responsible for the maintenance of their other boundaries. Generally the left hand one as viewed from the front is the responsibility of an individual occupier.

Fire point hoses must only used in the case of an emergency. All park homes must be equipped with a fire extinguisher/blanket which conforms to the relevant British Standard.

17. REFUSE

All occupiers are responsible for the disposal of all household, recyclable and garden waste in approved containers through the local authority service. Containers must not be overfilled. In order to facilitate refuse collection, occupiers are responsible for placing their dustbins at an agreed place near the entrance of the park at the appropriate times and to return them to their homes as soon as possible after they have been emptied.

18. SEWERAGE

Due to the age and nature of the drains, it is imperative that only human waste and biodegradable paper should be flushed down the toilets. Individual occupiers will be held responsible for the cost of repairs if blockages are caused by a failure to comply with this rule.

Occupiers shall keep insured their mobile homes against loss or damage by fire and liability to third parties and other such risks as the owner may from time to time reasonably require and to produce to the owner upon request the policy of insurance and such evidence as the owner may reasonably require in order to confirm that the policy is valid.
