(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations prescribe forms of application for grants under Part VIII of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 (grants towards cost of improvements and repairs etc.). They also prescribe particulars to be contained in applications. Form 1 is to be used for applications for renovation grants. Form 2 is to be used for applications for disabled facilities grants. Form 3 is to be used for applications for common parts grants. Form 4 is to be used for applications for HMO grants, which are grants relating to houses in multiple occupation.

These Regulations consolidate, with modifications, the Housing Renovation etc. Grants (Prescribed Forms and Particulars) Regulations 1990 and the amending regulations listed in Schedule 2. In addition to minor and drafting amendments, they make changes consequential upon changes made by the Housing Renovation etc. Grants (Reduction of Grant) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/648).

By regulation 6, these Regulations do not apply to applications made before 4th April 1994, the date on which these Regulations come into force.
