Site rules for park home sites
Appealing a site rule proposal at a tribunal
After receiving the site owner’s formal consultation response to make, change or remove a site rule, you can appeal to the tribunal.
The tribunal can quash the changes (stop them), modify them, or order the site owner to follow the correct consultation process. Until the tribunal resolves the issue, the proposed rules cannot come into force.
Deadline to appeal
You must appeal to the tribunal within 21 days of the consultation response date of service.
Reasons for appealing
You can appeal on any of these grounds (reasons):
- the site owner did not follow the consultation process
- the rule concerns a banned issue (known as a prescribed matter)
- the decision the site owner reached following consultation was “unreasonable”
What counts as unreasonable can include, for example, rules that:
- go beyond simply managing the site
- are not permitted by the site licence or local planning rules
- are not reasonable for your site given its size, layout, character, services and amenities
How to apply to the tribunal
You must appeal to the tribunal by the deadline using the correct form.
You must also tell the site owner in writing and send them a copy of your tribunal appeal form before the deadline.
