Can
I live on Merlewood?
Merlewood is licensed as a Holiday Park and not as a Residential
Park and as such it is not permitted to use your Holiday Home
as a permanent residence.
As Seasons have
become longer and holiday homes more comfortable, you will
naturally want to make more use of your holiday home during
your leisure time. To be able to escape from urban living
and relax in the country at Merlewood you are required to
own or have a permanent home elsewhere and you must be on
the electoral roll at that address. This is the address you
would normally use for all your personal and business mail
as it is not permitted to use the park address for any purpose.
If you are looking
for a permanent residential home, have you considered one
of our Residential Parks which are located nearby in Garstang?
