The Interim Assistant Director, Waste, Fleet and Transport Services submitted Document “A” which reported on the introduction of the fit and proper person test for owners/managers of permanent residential caravan sites under the Mobile Homes (Requirement for Manager of Site to be Fit and Proper Person) (England) Regulations 2020 and to approve the proposed fees.

It was reported that the new Regulations required that all owners or managers

of permanent residential caravan sites were fit to manage the sites, therefore

the Council needed a procedure for ensuring this and for charging appropriate

fees to cover the authorities costs.

Further clarification was sought in relation to the proposed fees, compliance

visits and the guidelines used to assess how the fit and proper person test

was applied.

       Resolved –

      (1) That the new statutory powers local authorities have under the Regulations as detailed in Document “A” be noted.

      (2) That the proposed Fit & Proper Person Fees Policy set out in Appendix 1 to Document “A” be approved.
