Enforcement expenses
The Council is entitled, and may seek, to recover expenses incurred in carrying out enforcement action involved in the service of a compliance notice in respect of a licensed mobile home site. These expenses include costs incurred in deciding whether to serve a notice, site inspection/s, preparing the notice and obtaining expert advice.
Where appropriate, the Council may also seek to recover expenses incurred:
- In taking action following conviction of the site owner for failure to carry out actions required by a compliance notice; or
- In taking emergency action where there is an imminent risk of serious harm to any person on the site as a result of the site owner’s failure to comply with licence conditions.
Interest may be charged on any sums to be recovered as a result of enforcement action.
The Council will also be able to register any of the debts to be recovered for enforcement actions as a local land charge against the site.
Enforcement options and recovery of expenses are detailed in the Housing Enforcement Policy. The cost of carrying out enforcement work is not included within any element of the site licence or FPPT fees.
Deposit of site rules
Fees payable for the deposit of site rules are £30.
Appointment of a person to manage the site
Where a site owner or their manager fails a FPP test and they are unable to identify and appoint a suitable alternative manager who must also undergo the fit and proper assessment, the local authority could appoint a person to manage the site, with the consent of the site owner.
If the Council is required to appoint a person to manage the site, the reasonable costs of this action can also be recovered from the site. If this were to be required, the Council would seek full cost recovery of all officer time and any other resources required to undertake this action.
