PARK RULES FOR WOLDS RETREAT

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 homeowner or other occupier of a park home
• "we", "our" and "us" refers to the park owner
• "park" refers to Wolds Retreat, Brigg Road, Market Rasen, LN7 6RU

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.

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 3 about the colour of the exterior of the home, as someone renting their home would not be responsible for exterior maintenance.

These rules also apply (for so long as they live on the park) to the park owner and any employees, with the exception of the following rules 19, 20, 33, 41 and 42.

Condition of the pitch and the home

1. You must not erect fences or other means of enclosure (such as a hedge) unless they are of a non-combustible material, no greater than 1 metre in height (in accordance with model site licence conditions) and you have obtained our prior approval in writing to the design, standard and size of the enclosure (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). For example where the means of enclosure is a fence and you source the fence yourself the design, standard and size of the fence must be approved by us in writing prior to erecting the fence on the pitch (such approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). For the avoidance of any doubt wooden fences are not permitted. You must position fences and other means of enclosure so as to comply with the park's site licence conditions and fire safety requirements.
