The Housing and Planning Act 2016 (Consequential Provisions) (England) Regulations 2017

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Land Registration Rules 2003 (S.I. 2003/1417) as a result of the repeal of the consent regime made by Schedule 4 to the Housing and Planning Act 2016 (c. 22).

Regulation 2 revokes paragraph (1A) of rule 183A, which requires a private registered provider of social housing who applies for registration as the proprietor or a registered estate or registered charge to include a statement to that effect, and regulation 3 makes amendments to the relevant obligatory forms of restriction set out in Schedule 4 to the Land Registration Rules 2003.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
