is expressed to be granted for holiday use only, or

(b)

requires that there are times of the year when no mobile home or caravan may be stationed on the site for human habitation.

(2)

For the purpose of determining whether or not a site is a holiday site, any provision of the relevant planning permission or of the site licence which permits the stationing of a mobile home on the land for human habitation all year round is to be ignored if the mobile home is authorised to be occupied by—

(a)

the person who is the owner of the site, or
