Fit & Proper Person
Section 8 of the Mobile Homes Act 2013 was implemented in Autumn 2021.
The Mobile Homes (Requirement for Manager of Site to be a Fit & Proper Person) (England) Regulations 2020 state that a Licence Holder or a Site Manager should be assessed and deemed a "Fit and Proper Person" to operate a Residential Park. Further information regarding this section of the act will be published in due course. A copy of the Fit & Proper Fees Policy is attached in the Related Documents section at the bottom of this page.
All Residential Site Operators must make an application for a Fit & Proper Person (FPP) applicable to their park. Applications will be assessed and all Fit & Proper Persons will be held on a Public Register, which is published below in the Related Documents section of this page.
Once a Fit & Proper Person has been added to the Register, the applicant will remain an FPP for 5 years until the Licence will need to be renewed.
If the Council deem the Fit & Proper Person to no longer be a suitable person to hold this role during the 5 year period, an application can be made for the FPP to be removed from the Register or for Licence Conditions to be imposed upon them.
Should the FPP no longer be in the employment of the Park Operator, the Site Owner shall make a new application for a replacement Fit & Proper Person.
