  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order (which applies in relation to Wales) prescribes the maximum amount of mandatory disabled facilities grant that a local housing authority can be required to pay under Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (“the Act”). By article 2, the maximum amount is £36,000.\nSection 23(1) of the Act specifies the purposes for which, subject to the provisions of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Act, an application for a grant must be approved. Article 3 of this Order specifies additional purposes for which an application for a grant must be approved, subject to the provisions of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Act being satisfied. The specified purposes are for facilitating access by the disabled occupant to and from a garden (which is defined in article 3(3)), and for making the access to a garden safe for the disabled occupant.\nArticles 2 and 3 of the Disabled Facilities Grants and Home Repair Assistance (Maximum Amounts Order) 1996, which apply to England and Wales, set the maximum amount of mandatory disabled facilities grant at £30,000 in relation to Wales. Article 4 of this Order provides for those articles to cease to have effect in relation to Wales.",
