# The Home Energy Efficiency Scheme (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2011, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Home Energy Efficiency Scheme (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/1530) (‘the principal Regulations’).
Regulation 3(2) removes the definition of, and reference to, ‘energy advice’ in regulation 2 of the principal Regulations.
Regulation 3(3) replaces the eligibility criteria to be met by a person who makes an application for grant in relation to a dwelling under the principal Regulations. Regulation 3(3) also amends the principal Regulations so as to stipulate the maximum energy efficiency rating of a dwelling in relation to which an application for grant may be made.
Regulation 3(4) makes amendments to the list of works for which grant may be made.
Regulation 3(5) amends the description of works that fall within the upper grant maximum specified in regulation 6 of the principal Regulations.
Regulation 3(6) makes minor amendments to regulation 7 of the principal Regulations consequential upon the modification of the eligibility criteria by regulation 3(3). Regulation 3(6) also specifies further works in relation to which an application for additional grant must be refused (because grant has previously been awarded for those works).
Regulation 3(7) repeals regulation 8 of the principal Regulations thereby removing the ability for the administering agency to provide, by agreement, for grant to be made over a period not exceeding seven years.
Regulation 3(8) makes minor and consequential amendments to regulation 9 of the principal Regulations.
Regulation 4 makes transitional provision in relation to a works application made and approved before the date on which these Regulations come into force.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private, public or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
An Explanatory Memorandum is published alongside these Regulations on www.legislation.gov.uk.
