Park Homes

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to enhance the fit and proper person test for the (a) owner and (b) manager of a park home site.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The fit and proper person test, which applies to a site owner or the person appointed to manage a site, is intended to ensure that those managing park home sites are competent to do so.

Where properly applied by local authorities, the legislation has been shown to be effective.

We will continue to monitor its operation and consider whether any changes are required.
