Explanatory note

Schedule 3 to the Housing and Planning Act 1986 inserted provisions into Part XV of the Housing Act 1985, to provide for a new form of grant to be available from a local housing authority, towards the cost of works required for the improvement or repair of the common parts of a building containing one or more flats. This Order specifies the limit of average rateable value of the flats in the building to be applied by the local housing authority, in determining eligibility under these provisions. Different limits are specified for different areas.
