Application by site owner or occupier for
determination of new level of pitch fee

Paragraph 16 of Chapter 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Mobile Homes Act 1983 (as amended)

It is important that you read the notes below carefully before you complete this form.

This is the correct form to use if you are a Park Home protected site owner (‘the owner’) or occupier of a park home under an agreement governed by the Mobile Homes Act 1983 (‘the occupier’) and the owner has served a written notice on the occupier proposing a new pitch fee but the parties have been unable to negotiate a new fee and you wish to apply to the Tribunal to determine the new level of the pitch fee.

Please note that;

(a) if, at least 28 clear days before the review date, the owner served a written notice on the occupier, in the prescribed form with proposals for a new pitch fee, your application to the tribunal can be made at any time after the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the review date but not later than 3 months after the review date.

(b) if the owner did not serve such a notice at least 28 clear days before the review date, but did serve a notice any time thereafter, your application to the tribunal can be made at any time after the end of the period of 56 days, beginning with the date on which the owner served the notice, but not later than 4 months after the date on which the notice was served.

The Tribunal has power to permit an out of time application but only if it is satisfied that the applicant can show good reason for not making the application in time and also for the delay since then in making the application.

A fee is payable for this application (see section 8 for Help with Fees).

Applications should be sent as a Microsoft Word document by email to the relevant regional tribunal address shown in the Annex to this form. You must also send by email a copy of the Notice of proposed pitch fee served on the occupier and a copy of the agreement under which the occupier occupies the home. If you cannot access email or find someone to assist you in lodging your application by email, then a paper application will be acceptable although there may be a delay in dealing with this. Sending an application on paper will not be suitable in urgent cases.

You can now pay the the fee (if applicable) by an on-line banking payment or by cheque/postal order enclosed with the application form.

If you want to be sent online banking payment details by email, please tick this box

Please make sure a copy of the application is served on the other party/parties to the application. If you are unable to serve a copy on the other party/parties, please bring this to the tribunal’s attention in the covering email or if sending by post in a covering letter.

Please do not send any other documents. When further evidence is needed, you will be asked to send it in separately.
