# The Home Energy Efficiency Grants Regulations 1990, Regulation 13: Communal area grant


(1) An administering agency may make communal area grants in respect of works, except energy advice, in communal areas.
(2) A person whose dwelling is in a building, another part of which is a building in multiple occupation, may when applying for a grant for works to his dwelling indicate in his application that he believes that the building is a building suitable for a communal area grant and on receipt of the application the administering agency shall deal with the indication in accordance with the following provisions of this regulation.
(3) The administering agency shall make such enquiries as it sees fit as to the proportion of the dwellings in the building which are dwellings (“relevant dwellings”) resided in by a person from whom an application for a grant may be entertained under paragraph (1) of regulation 3.
(4) If the administering agency determines that–
(a) at least half of the dwellings in the building are relevant dwellings; and
(b) the building is one where work in respect of the communal areas would be justified on the grounds of reducing or preventing the wastage of energy,
the administering agency may appoint a person or body of persons to carry out work of the nature, to the extent and subject to such of the provisions of these Regulations as apply to works, all as may be laid down by the administering agency, and may, on completion of the work, pay to that person or body such sum as may have been agreed as the communal area grant in respect of that work.
