Consultation process
Letters were sent to site owners and residents in August 2013 advising that the Mobile Home Act 2013 would enable Councils to charge licensing fees from 1 April 2014. A Site Owners Engagement Event was held on 30 September 2013 where the drafting of fees policy and development of an overarching park homes strategy was discussed. A similar engagement event for site residents is planned for 22 January 2014. Although there is no legal requirement to carry out a consultation on the fees policy it was felt that a short informal consultation was appropriate.
