PARK RULES FOR SUNCREST PARK

Preface

In these rules:

• "occupier" means any homeowner who occupies a park home, under an Agreement to which the Mobile Homes Act 1983 (as amended) applies
• "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 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 [DATE 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.

These rules also apply (for as long as they live on the park) to the park owner, the owner's family and any employees with the exception of the following rules 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 19, 20,21.

Condition of the Pitch

1. For reasons of ventilation and safety you must keep the underneath of your home clear and not use it as a storage space.

2. You must not erect fences/trees/shrubs or other means of enclosure unless you have obtained our approval in writing (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). This is because of fire safety requirements. You must position fences and any other means of enclosure so as to comply with the park's site licence conditions and fire safety requirements.

3. For fire safety reasons you must not have external fires, including incinerators.

4. For fire safety reasons you must not keep flammable substances on the park except in quantities reasonable for domestic use.
