The PHHPA Position
PHHPA will always: Stand with homeowners. Acknowledge emotional harm without amplifying rage. Separate lived experience from verified facts. Distinguish poor practices from good operators. Investigate issues before taking public positions. We speak for change, not against an industry.
THE PARK HOME SECTOR IS IN CRISIS
Across the UK, park home and holiday park owners are speaking out as unfair practices, aggressive sales tactics, and escalating costs push ordinary people to breaking point. What was sold as affordable living has, for many, become financial entrapment.
OWNERS ARE BEING MIS-SOLD AND TRAPPED
THIS IS NOW A LEGAL AND POLITICAL ISSUE
Not Opinion. Not Exaggeration. Not Isolated.
- Operators being challenged in courts.
- Reported in the national press.
- Raised with regulators and authorities.
- It is now a matter of public record.
A Fairer Future for Holiday and Residential Parks Across the UK
What Are Fairer Parks?
A fairer park is one where people who own residential park homes, holiday caravans, leisure park homes, or holiday lodges are treated transparently, respectfully, and fairly. For residential park home owners, fairer parks mean clear site agreements, transparent pitch fee processes, respectful park management relationships, and confidence in long-term security. For holiday park caravan owners and holiday lodge owners, fairer parks mean honest sales information, clear usage terms, transparent fees, fair resale processes, and a holiday experience free from unnecessary stress.
The Park Home and Holiday Park Association (PHHPA) believes fairer parks are not anti-business.
They are pro-balance, pro-trust, and pro-sustainability.
Why Fairer Parks Matter Now
The park home and holiday park sector is facing unprecedented scrutiny. High-profile legal cases, including matters reaching the High Court, alongside increased regulatory attention and national media reporting, have highlighted long-standing issues affecting people who own homes and holiday accommodation on park sites. This has led to a breakdown of trust, increased tension between owners and operators, uncertainty for holidaymakers and residents, and reputational risk for responsible park operators. PHHPA believes the only sustainable way forward for the sector is through fairer parks built on transparency and accountability.
The Role of the Park Home and Holiday Park Association (PHHPA)
The Park Home and Holiday Park Association is an independent UK association representing people who own:
Residential park homes
Leisure-use park homes
Holiday park caravans
Holiday lodges on park-based sites
PHHPA works constructively with residential park operators and holiday park operators who recognise the need for change and are willing to engage positively in reform. PHHPA is not anti-operator. PHHPA is pro-fairness, pro-transparency, and pro-long-term stability.
Research, Leadership, and Industry Insight
The work of the Park Home and Holiday Park Association (PHHPA) is informed by years of detailed industry research and direct engagement. Bradley Chapman, Director of PHHPA, has spent over five years researching the park home and holiday park sector, engaging with owners, operators, suppliers, and professional advisers. This research has included first-hand owner experiences, contract analysis, and investigative work to understand how unfair practices develop and how fairer parks can be achieved in practice. This depth of understanding supports PHHPA’s mission to move the industry forward responsibly.
Working With Park Operators Who Support Fairer Parks
PHHPA actively invites residential park operators and holiday park operators who recognise that the industry must evolve to work with us. Operators committed to fairer parks are those willing to improve transparency, communicate clearly with owners, adopt fair contractual practices, and engage constructively with reform. Membership of the Park Home and Holiday Park Association allows operators to demonstrate leadership and alignment with a fairer future for the sector.
A Fairer Future for the Entire Park Industry
Fairer parks benefit more than owners alone. They create stronger reputations for ethical operators, greater consumer confidence, reduced disputes, and long-term commercial sustainability. This is why PHHPA also welcomes involvement from park suppliers, park manufacturers, park legal representatives, and professional advisers who recognise that fairness strengthens the entire industry.
Supporting Fairer Parks Through Public Action
Real change requires collective support. Members of the public, including residential park home owners, holiday caravan owners, lodge owners, and holidaymakers, can support the work of the Park Home and Holiday Park Association (PHHPA) through a £5 per week subscription. This support helps fund legal work, policy engagement, parliamentary activity, and national representation of owner voices. Strength in numbers creates impact.
