By law, all residential mobile home sites, and those for static holiday caravans and touring caravans, must have planning permission and be licensed with the local authority.

We are responsible for ensuring that the site conditions attached to the licence are met by the owner of the site. The owner must ensure that the residents, tenants or users of their site, also comply with the site conditions.

Site conditions

The site conditions set out minimum health and safety standards for the site and cover things such as:

  • Access
  • Site boundaries
  • Layout (including minimum distances between homes)
  • Fire risk assessment
  • Gas installations and storage
  • Electrical safety
  • Water supply
  • Drainage, sanitation and washing facilities.

Register of park rules

Under the Mobile Homes (Site Rules) (England) Regulations 2014, the Local Authority is required to keep an up to date register of park rules in respect of 'relevant protected sites' and publish the register online.

Those sites that have lodged their park rules with East Hampshire District Council are listed below.

For residential park home sites, the site owner may set their own park rules. They are part of the contract between the home owner and site owner, and supplement the Mobile Homes Written Agreement between both parties.

We do not enforce these, although some rules may be a duplicate of the Site Licence Conditions which the Council does enforce. We do not control, and are not liable for, the content of any park rules which are submitted to us by site owners.
