Mobile home site owners in Knowsley must apply to be included on a register of fit and proper persons. This is to improve the standards of mobile home site management. Find out more about the application process here.
The Mobile Homes (Requirement for Manager of Site to be Fit and Proper Person) (England) Regulations 2020 require mobile home site owners to apply to be included on a register of fit and proper persons.
The legislation applies to residential mobile home sites operating on a commercial basis. Non-commercial, family-occupied sites are exempt.
To apply, you will need to submit a completed application form, pay an application fee, and provide a copy of a Basic Criminal Records Check.
There is an application fee of £258.
Information about how to arrange a DBS check can be found on the Government’s website here.
Knowsley Council will review your application and check that you meet the fit and proper person criteria. If you are approved, you will be included on the register for up to five years.
If you fail to comply with the requirements, you may be committing an offence. This could result in an unlimited fine or, if convicted twice or more, the revocation of your site licence.
