Mobile Homes (Wales) Act 2013

13 Power of local authority to vary conditions of site licence

(1) The conditions of a site licence may be varied at any time (whether by the variation or cancellation of existing conditions, by the addition of new conditions, or by a combination of any such methods) by the local authority if—

(a) the holder of the site licence makes an application to the local authority for it to do so, or

(b) the local authority discovers new information or considers that there has been a change of circumstances.

(2) Before varying the conditions of a site licence under subsection (1)(b), the local authority must give to the holder of the site licence an opportunity to make representations.

(3) Where the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to the land to which the site licence relates, no new condition may be added to a site licence under subsection (1) in so far as it relates to any matter in relation to which requirements or prohibitions are or could be imposed by or under that Order.

(4) A local authority may require an application for a variation of the conditions of the site licence to be accompanied by a fee fixed by the local authority (on which see section 36).

(5) The variation by a local authority of the conditions of site licence is not to have effect until written notification of it has been received by the holder of the site licence.

(6) In exercising the powers conferred by subsection (1), a local authority must have regard (among other things) to any standards which may have been specified by the Welsh Ministers under section 10.

(7) The local authority must consult the fire and rescue authority before exercising the powers conferred by subsection (1) in relation to a condition of a site licence imposed for the purposes set out in section 9(2)(e).

(8) Subsection (7) does not apply where the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to the land.
