Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Title Conditions (Scotland) Act 2003 (Rural Housing Bodies) Order 2004 by adding two new bodies (Craignish Community Company Limited and The Highland Housing Alliance) to the list of prescribed rural housing bodies. Rural housing bodies are bodies in favour of whom it is competent to create a rural housing burden comprising a right of pre-emption under section 43(1) of the Title Conditions (Scotland) Act 2003. Section 43(6) provides that a body may be classified as a rural housing body only if it has as its object or function (or, as the case may be, one of its principal objects or functions) the power to provide housing or land for housing. The two bodies prescribed by this Order comply with this requirement.
