Meeting: 25/05/2021 - Communities and Housing Advisory Board (Item 13)
This report recommends the charging of an application fee for the Council’s function to determine if a manager of a mobile home/caravan/park home site is a fit and proper person to manage the site under the Mobile Homes (Requirement for Manager of Site to be Fit and Proper Person) (England) Regulations 2020.
Minutes:
The report of the Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health recommended the charging of an application fee for the Borough Council’s function to determine if a manager of a mobile home/caravan/park home site was a fit and proper person to manage the site under the Mobile Homes (Requirement for Manager of Site to be Fit and Proper Person) (England) Regulations 2020.
The purpose of the Regulations was to improve the standards of management of permanent residential sites that were operated on a commercial basis and only applied to relevant protected sites.
The total fee for processing an application to be included on the fit and proper person register would be set at £235 and would be reviewed annually in line with other caravan site licensing fees. Currently, there was no requirement to introduce an annual fee for monitoring conditions attached to entries on the Fit and Proper register given the low number of caravan sites within the borough.
RECOMMENDED: That the charging of a fee of £235 for the processing of an application to determine if the site owner/caravan site licence holder, or the person appointed by them to manage the relevant protected site, was a fit and proper person to do so and be placed on the register of fit and proper persons be endorsed.
