(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Mobile Homes (Site Rules) (England) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/5) to correct an error, whereby regulation 10 requires consultees who are bringing an appeal to notify the site owner of the appeal in writing and provide the site owner with a copy of the application made, within the 21 day period for appealing; whereas the prescribed form in Schedule 2 to the Regulations, which is the consultation response document that site owners are required to issue to consultees following the last consultation day, simply sets out that the site owner must be notified of any appeal to the tribunal, but does not contain a reference to providing the site owner with a copy of the application made. These Regulations correct this discrepancy by removing the requirement in regulation 10 that a copy of the application made should be provided to the site owner within the 21 day appeal period.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
