Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Housing Renewal Grants Regulations 1996 “the principal Regulations” and the Housing Renewal Grants (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2000 (which amend the principal Regulations).

The principal Regulations set out the means test for determining the amount of renovation grant, disabled facilities grant and common parts grant which may be paid by local housing authorities to owner-occupier or tenant applicants under Chapter I of Part I of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996.

Regulation 2 amends regulation 10 of the principal Regulations (the applicable amount) by increasing the applicable amount (which is an amount to be deducted from an applicant’s financial resources as part of the means test). The amendment provides for a larger amount for an application for disabled facilities grant to carry out works for the benefit of a child or young person.

Regulation 3 amends the Housing Renewal Grants (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2000 by revoking the amendments to the principal Regulations that set out the housing allowance.
