Residential Park Rules

Under the Mobile Homes Act 2013, Site Owners must deposit a copy of their Site Rules with us so that we can keep a master copy on record. The Site Owner may set their own Site Rules on Residential Caravan & Park Home Sites. The Council does not enforce these rules, although some rules may be a duplicate of the Site Licence Conditions. The Site Rules are part of the contract between the home owner and Site Owner, and supplement the Mobile Homes Act Agreement.

 

What is the difference between Site Rules and Site Licence Conditions?

Site Licence Conditions are issued by the Local Authority and cover various health & safety issues including spacing between caravans, electrical safety, installation and maintenance of fire fighting equipment. Compliance with these Conditions form the basis of a caravan site inspection.

Site Rules are put in place by the Site Owner to ensure acceptable standards are maintained, which will benefit occupiers of the park. This will usually form part of the legal agreement between Site Owner and resident.

The Site Rules and the Site Licence Conditions may cover similar topics but the Site Rules will generally cover issues regarding the day-to-day running of a park.

Public Register of Deposited Site Rules

The Council is required to keep and publish a Register of Site Rules. We will update this page when we are notified by Site Owners that rules are in force. The rules deposited below have been written by the Site Owners, and not East Lindsey District Council.  These rules will not necessarily reflect the views of the Local Authority.

Should you wish to purchase a residential caravan or park home, we strongly recommend that you consult a solicitor before signing any agreement and ensure that a full planning history search has been completed to establish that the residential use of the caravan is lawful.
