Part 2 - Licensing of Mobile Home Sites etc

Section 13 - Power of local authority to vary conditions of site licence

24.This section sets out that a local authority may vary the conditions attached to a site licence at any time, but before exercising this power a local authority must give the licence holder an opportunity to make representations. Variation is also possible where the local authority discovers new information or considers there has been a change of circumstances.

25.Subsection (4) provides that, where a licence holder makes an application to vary the conditions attached to a site licence, a local authority may require the application to be accompanied by a fee, fixed by the local authority, provided it has published its fees policy (see section 36).
