19.             In order to conform with Fire Regulations no new sheds other than metal or plastic sheds no larger than 6ft by 4ft will be allowed on the park.

Suitable additional private parking areas may be made subject to Park Owners approval. The allocation of road spaces is at the Park Owners discretion. No trade or commercial or motor home vehicles are allowed on the park without the permission of the Park Owner. Parking provisions on the park are intended for use during the Caravan Owners visits to the park. Any vehicles left on the park long term unattended need to be notified to the Park Owner. A set of keys for the vehicle must be left with the Park Office so that the vehicle can be moved in an emergency or if park maintenance work needs to be undertaken. Failure to comply may result in damage to the vehicle for which the Park Owner cannot be held responsible.

The Park Owner reserves the right to enter any caravan by other means if no keys have been provided.

28.             A 5 mile per hour maximum speed limit and the one way road system must be observed at all times. Continuous disregard will risk expulsion from Park.

30.             Washing machines use a lot of water. As the water charges are not metered and everyone on park pays the same water bill, then in the interest of fairness, a charge of £25 per annum will be levied on those wishing to have a machine. The money will be put in a pot and be used to directly offset the cost of the water bill for those who do not have a machine. Payment will be on an honesty basis but if it is discovered that a washing machine is used and not being paid for then it shall be assumed that the machine has been installed from the date the caravan owner purchased the caravan and a bill to that effect will be issued.

(in the case of a caravan abandonment, the Park Owner reserves the right to enter the caravan and  make the caravan safe and secure and make the removal to the holding area).

        (iii)     The Park Owners shall disconnect the caravan services and remove the caravan to a holding area on the Park ready for the caravans final removal from the Park by others. A charge shall be made for this service. The current fee for this service can be obtained from the Park Office.
