Park Homes: Ownership
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the Fit and Proper Person test in protecting park home residents from unsuitable landowners.
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 planning authorities, the legislation has been shown to be effective.
My Department will continue to monitor its operation and consider whether any changes are required.
