Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations prescribe the form of the improvement order that is to be used by a local authority for the purpose of section 88(1) of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 when requiring works to be carried out to a house not situated within a housing action area to bring it up to the tolerable standard and to put it in a good state of repair.

The Regulations revoke the existing improvement order form which is set out as Form 4 in the list of forms in the Schedule to the Housing (Forms) (Scotland) Regulations 1980.

The Schedule to the Regulations sets out the form of the new order. The order specifies the works that require to be carried out and the period within which the works should be carried out.
