Park Rules for Timbertop Caravan Park

Residential & Holiday Home Rules

1. Preamble

The following rules of occupation are for the good management of the Site and the benefit of all whom uses it. These rules form part of the Agreement by which you occupy  your pitch.

The Rules have not been compiled to place unnecessary restrictions on Occupiers but rather to ensure that they may live peacefully in unspoilt surroundings. We are sure that, provided the rules are accepted in the right spirit, the Site will continue to be a happy community.

2. Caravans

Only caravans of proprietary manufacture which confirm to the definitions contained in  the relevant Acts of Parliament will be acceptable.

3. Permanent Residence on Site

If caravan owners wish to become permanent residents on Site they must in all circumstances obtain prior written permission from the Site Owner.

4. Occupants of the Site

The caravan may be used by the Occupier and members of his permanent household and bona fide guests only. On no occasion shall the number of persons occupying or using the caravan exceed the specified number of berths.

There shall be no subletting or parting with possession of the whole or any part of the caravan or pitch without the Site Owner's written permission.

Occupiers who wish to sell their caravan, must do so through the Site Owner and not privately. There will be a 15% commission charge, payable to the Site Owner on completion of a successful sale.

5. a) Conditions of the Caravan

Caravans must be kept in a sound and clean condition, decoration and external colour must be maintained to a satisfactory standard. Caravans must not be removed, nor repositioned without prior permission from the Site Owner. No external alteration or addition to the caravan or pitch is permitted without prior written permission from the Site Owner.

Caravans are not expected to stay on Site beyond 15 years. Although, this date may be earlier if the caravan (chassis in particular) is in a poor condition. All caravans must be replaced with new caravans via the Site Owner.

Disconnection and removal of caravans from a pitch shall only be carried out by the Site Owner at the Occupier's expense.

Only tradesmen who have from time to time been licensed in writing by the Site Owner may trade, sell or buy on the Site.

b) Condition of Balconies/Decking

These must be kept in a sound, clean and treated condition; all wood must be natural colour. Any that are broken, green/black (due to lack of cleaning) or rotting will be immediately dismantled by the Site Owner, with a charge occurring to the Occupier. Any new balconies or decking must be approved through the Site Owner and the work undertaken by an approved tradesman.

6. Condition of the Pitch

To enable the Site Owner to confirm to the conditions attached to their Site Licence issued by the Local Authority, Occupiers will maintain the pitch allocated in a tidy condition, free from litter and refuse.

The underneath of each caravan is to be kept absolutely clear and NOT used as a storage space. Flower pots and any other ornaments are not permitted to be placed outside of pitch boundaries.

Only two gas bottles per caravan are permitted and all empty bottles are to be returned to the supplier.

External fires, including incinerators are not allowed. Properly designed barbeques are accepted provided they are always supervised.

All barbeques and garden furniture must be stored securely during winter months due to severe weather conditions.

7. Sheds/Porches etc.

Storage sheds or other structures are only permitted with the approval of the Site Owner and where permitted must be of a design; size and standard approved by the Site Owner and must be maintained in good repair and appearance.

Only one shed per pitch is allowable and all sheds must be securely bolted to the ground in all circumstances.

No washing machines are to be installed in any shed in any circumstances. No flammable or explosive substances may be kept on the Occupier's pitch except in quantities reasonable for domestic use.

8. Vehicles

All vehicles must be driven carefully on the Site, not exceeding the 5mph speed limit. Occupiers' and other permitted entrants bring vehicles onto the Site at their own risk.

Vehicles must keep to authorised parking spaces and the Site Owner is only obliged to provide one car parking space per caravan. Occupiers with more than one vehicle and visitors may be obliged to park their vehicle off the Site.

All vehicles must be taxed and insured as required by law (Road Traffic Act 1960) and be in running order and drivers must hold a current driving licence and insurance.

Motor oil and other fuels of that nature must not be discharged into the drains or onto the road, car park or grass.
