# The Housing and Planning Act 1986 (Commencement No. 15) Order 1990, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into force on 31st March 1990 section 43 of the Housing and Planning Act 1986 which substitutes a new section for section 125 of the Local Government Act 1972 (c. 70) (compulsory acquisition of land on behalf of parish or community councils).
The new section simplifies procedures to be followed where a district council makes a compulsory acquisition of land on behalf of a parish or community council, and brings such procedures into line with those applicable to other compulsory purchase orders.
Article 3 of the Order provides for the continued application of section 125 of the 1972 Act as originally enacted in respect of compulsory purchase orders made before 31st March 1990.
