Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

The Mobile Homes Act 2013 amended the Mobile Homes Act 1983 to create a number of new grounds on which applications can be made to the Property Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal in respect of mobile home sites. This Order specifies the fees payable in respect of those applications.

This Order also simplifies how a fee is calculated when an application is made in respect of more than one pitch or mobile home. In future, the fee charged for an application will be calculated only by reference to the number of pitches or mobile homes to which those applications relate.
