[2024] UKUT 260 (LC)

This is an appeal by Mr Martin Hampton against a decision of the First-tier Tribunal about the pitch fee for the mobile home where he lives with his wife Mrs Dawn Hampton at Cauldron Barn Farm Park, a site regulated by the Mobile Homes Act 1983. The respondent is the site owner.

The appeal has been determined under the Tribunal’s written representations procedure; neither party has been legally represented.

The appeal is about whether errors in a pitch fee review notice make it invalid, with the result that there is no increase in the pitch fee until a valid notice is served. The FTT decided that the notice in question was valid and that the pitch fee was to increase in line with the retail prices index, and the appellant has permission to appeal that decision.
