Site rules and the fit and proper person test
Site rules
Site rules on residential mobile home sites ensure community cohesion and good management of the site, while also making sure that mobile home owners are clear of the rules that apply to them.
The Mobile Homes (Site Rules) (England) Regulations 2014 detail the procedure for the making, variation and deletion of site rules on residential mobile home parks. When a site owner wishes to make any new rules or change existing rules they must first consult with all mobile home owners’ and any qualifying residents association. Mobile home owners’ have a right to appeal any new rules or changes to them. Regulation 16 of the Mobile Homes (Site Rules) (England) Regulations 2014, requires us to publish all site rules received by us. Copies can be viewed at our offices or below.
Fit and Proper Person test
The Mobile Homes (Requirement for Manager of Site to be Fit and Proper Person) (England) Regulations 2020 prohibit the use of land as a residential mobile home site unless the local authority is satisfied that the owner or manager of the site is a fit and proper person and is included on the fit and proper person register.
The Regulations apply in relation to all relevant protected sites other than non-commercial family-occupied sites. These include both “residential parks”, which are used exclusively residentially, and “mixed use parks”, which are used for both residential and holiday purposes.
The law also requires usto publish and maintain an up to date register of fit and proper persons. This may be inspected at our offices or on-line
