Park Homes: Facilities
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of improving basic amenities for Park Home residents.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
On privately owned park home sites, the site owner is responsible for the amenities on site.
Site owners are required to have a site licence, issued by local authorities. Local authorities have discretion to attach conditions to licences which may cover matters such as the site amenities, physical standards, and layout of the park.
The Mobile Homes Act 2013 gave local authorities substantial enforcement powers to ensure they can take action if a site owner is found to have breached any of their site licence conditions.
