EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations prescribe the form of the document that must accompany a pitch fee review notice (served under paragraph 17(3) or (8)(b) of Chapter 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Mobile Homes (Wales) Act 2013) which proposes an increase in the pitch fee. The document must be in the form prescribed in the Schedule to these Regulations or in a form substantially to the same effect. A pitch fee review notice which proposes an increase in the pitch fee is of no effect unless it is accompanied by such a document.

The document, to be completed by the site owner, provides occupiers with information about how the proposed new pitch fee has been calculated and information about the pitch fee review process.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a Regulatory Impact Assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations. The Impact Assessment prepared for the Mobile Homes (Wales) Bill 2013 is relevant and a copy may be obtained from the Department of Housing, Welsh Government, Rhydycar Business Park, Merthyr Tydfil, CF48 1UZ.
