Site rules and consultation

Site rules are different to site licence conditions. The owner of the site will put in the place the site rules to make sure acceptable standards are maintained. This will benefit the occupiers and will help promote community cohesion on the site.

Site owners must review their site rules and remove any that are banned under the Mobile Homes Act.

They must:

  1. Follow government guidance to create new site rules
  2. Hold a consultation for at least 28 days with residents and residents' associations
  3. Send the updated rules for our approval

You can find accepted site rules in the Site Agreement document.
