PARK RULES FOR SHILLINGFORD PARK

Preface

In these rules:

• "occupier" means anyone who occupies a park home, whether under an Agreement to which the Mobile Homes (Wales) Act 2013.
• "you" and "your" refers to the homeowner or other occupier of a park home
• "we", ''us" 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 (Wales) Act 2013.

The rules are designed to ensure that all may live peacefully in unspoilt surroundings and have not been compiled to place unnecessary restrictions on occupiers. 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, which is [to be confirmed]; 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.
