Fit and Proper Person Residential Caravan Sites
On 1 July 2021 the Mobile Homes (Requirement for Manager of Site to be Fit and Proper Person) (England) Regulations 2020 came into force. The regulations prohibit the use of land as a residential mobile home site unless the local authority is satisfied that the owner or manager of the site is a fit and proper person to manage the site.
The purpose of the fit and proper person test is to improve the standards of residential mobile home site management. View the application form on this webpage. (opens in new window)
Existing site owners must apply again if the circumstances relating to the nominated fit and proper person change in relation to an existing caravan site; for example:
- transfer of site licence
- change in management of the site
- removal of a person from the register by the local authority
In such cases, you will have three months to make a new application, so long as the change in circumstances has been notified to us within 28 days. Notify us or submit applications by contacting the Licensing Department. If we do not receive notification within this 28 day timescale, you must apply within this 28-day period.
A site is exempt from the requirement for a fit and proper person if it is "a non-commercial family occupied site". This is a site only occupied by members of the same family and not being run on a commercial basis. See the GOV.UK - legislation website (opens in new window) for more details.
