Park home sites are also known as “Relevant Protected Sites”. They are licensed under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960. This was amended by the Mobile Homes Act 2013.
All park home sites where you sell or rent to residents need a fit and proper person on our register. This is to help improve the standards of park home site management. This is to comply with The Mobile Homes (Requirement for Manager of Site to be Fit and Proper Person) (England) Regulations 2020. Read more about adding a person to our Fit and Proper Person register.
When we give you a site licence, it will have conditions on it. They set out how you should operate. We have based these on the model conditions set out by the government.
You must comply with these conditions.
