This Order specifies a locality in the wards of Bathavon South, Combe Down and Lyncombe in the district of Bath and North East Somerset as a derelict land clearance area. It is a locality where underground stone mining has caused actual and apprehended collapse of land. In derelict land clearance areas, the Secretary of State can pay grant under the Derelict Land Act 1982 (towards the cost of acquiring, surveying and carrying out works on land which is derelict, neglected or unsightly) at the higher rates applicable to development and intermediate areas under that Act.
The locality specified is shown on the map referred to in article 2. A copy of the map is available for inspection at all reasonable times at the offices of the Bath and North East Somerset Council, Trimbridge House, Trim Street, Bath BA1 2DP and the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, Eland House, Bressenden Place, London SW1E 5DU.
