  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nChapter 3 of Part 4 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (“the 2007 Act”) authorises principal councils (as defined in section 102 of the 2007 Act) to undertake community governance reviews in their areas and make recommendations for matters including the creation of new parishes and parish councils. It also requires a principal council which has received a valid community governance petition to undertake a community governance review. Section 86 of the 2007 Act enables a principal council to make an order to give effect to recommendations made in a community governance review.\nThese Regulations make transitional and consequential provision, in relation to a parish council or a chairman of the parish meeting for a new parish (referred to in the Regulations as the “relevant parish council” or the “relevant chairman”) and the financial year in which the new parish is constituted (the “relevant year”), regarding calculation of the billing authority’s and new parish council’s or relevant chairman’s budget requirements, the anticipation, issue and payment of sums in respect of precepts, the calculations to be net of precepts under section 52X of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, and information under section 52Y of that Act.",
