PARK RULES FOR WHITEWAYS PARK

Preface

In these rules;

"Occupier" means anyone who occupies a park home, whether under an Agreement to which the Mobile Homes Act 1983 applies or under a tenancy or any other agreement.

"you" and "your" refers to the homeowners 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 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.

With one exception the rules also apply to any occupiers of park homes who rent their home.

The only rule which does not apply to occupiers who rent their home is rule 30 about the colour of the exterior of the home, as someone renting their home would not be responsible for exterior maintenance.

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 or other means of enclosure unless you have obtained our approval. 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.

You must position the shed so as to comply with the park's site licence and fire safety requirements.
