SITE RULES FOR UPTON CROSS PARK

The following Site Rules are intended to ensure that acceptable standards are maintained on the Park for the benefit of residents generally, and to promote and maintain community cohesion on the Park.

These Rules form part of the terms of the occupation agreement between the Park owner and each resident living on the Park, and must be followed to ensure that good order is maintained on the Park at all times for the benefit of all occupiers.

Introduction

These rules will not have retrospective effect, meaning that they will only apply from the date on which they take effect. No occupier who is in occupation on that date will be in breach of these rules by reason of any circumstances known to the Park owner which were in existence on that date and which would not have been a breach of the previous Park rules.

With the exception of rules 13 and 15 (if the Park owner is responsible for maintenance of the exterior of the park home), these rules also apply to any persons who occupy a park home on the Park which is rented from the Park owner.

With the exception of rules 4, 19, 21 and 37, these rules also apply to the Park owner, any employees of the Park owner, or any family members of the Park owner or his employees, where such persons live on the Park.
