PARK RULES FOR WESTCLIFFE GROVE PARK,
Westcliffe Drive, Morecambe LA3 3AU.

Preface

In these rules:

"Occupier" means anyone who occupies a park home under an Agreement to which the Mobile Homes Act
1983 applies.
"You" and "your" refers to the homeowner or other occupier of a park home.
'We" 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 Home_s 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 3rd February 2015; an_d 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 so long as they live on the park) to the park owner and any employees (where
appropriate), with the exception of the following rules 27.

Annual Ground Rent
1. Annual Ground Rent is payable monthly in advance. This payment does not constitute a letting of any kind.

price. The buyer will then pay the remaining 10% to the park owner within 7 days of completion in accordance
with the above mentioned Act.

Note
The express terms of a homeowner's agreement contain an undertaking on the part of the homeowner not to
allow anything which is or becomes a nuisance, inconvenience or disturbance to other occupiers at the park
and this undertaking extends to the behaviour of pets and animals. A similar requirement not to cause a
nuisance applies to tenants and again this includes the behaviour of pets and animals.

Note
These rules do not have retrospective effect. If the keeping of the pet complied with the previous rules, an
occupier will not be treated as being in breach when these rules take effect. However, when the pet dies or
leaves it can only be replaced if this would comply with these rules.

21. Nothing in rule 20 of these Park Rules prevents you from keeping an assistance dog if this is required to
support your disability and Assistance Dogs UK or any successor body has issued you with an Identification
