Model Standards for mobile home sites, caravan sites and park home estates
The Model Standards, produced by the Department of Communities and Local Government set down a guideline for local authorities to attach conditions to site licences. As guidance, there is no legal requirement to comply with the standards unless they are incorporated within a site licence. They are however useful to show whether the spirit of the law is being complied with and can be used as a reference point in prosecutions.
The topics covered include :
- The Boundaries and Plan of the Site
Density, Spacing and Parking between caravans
Roads, Gateways and overhead cables
Footpaths and pavements
Lighting
Bases
Maintenance of Common Areas, including Grass, Vegetation and Trees
Supply & storage of Gas etc
Electrical Installations
Water Supply
Drainage and sanitation
Domestic Refuse Storage & Disposal
Communal Vehicular Parking
Communal Recreation Space
Notices & Information
Flooding
Fire Safety Measures
