These Regulations amend the Housing Renewal Grants (Prescribed Form and Particulars) Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/2891) (“the principal Regulations”), which set out the prescribed form for applications for grant under Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (“the Act”). The questions and notes in the prescribed form reflect the means test rules for grant applications contained in the Housing Renewal Grants Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/2890, as amended).
The amendments made by these Regulations apply by regulation 1 to applications for grant made on or after the date on which they come into force to local housing authorities in England. The amendment made by regulation 3 permits such authorities to use forms of their own design which have the same effect (and hence, because of regulation 3 of the principal Regulations, include all the same particulars) as the prescribed form set out in the Schedule to the principal Regulations.
By regulation 4 of these regulations, that Schedule is amended (a) to reflect changes made to the Act by section 224 of the Housing Act 2004, substituting, for references to “qualifying park home” in the principal Regulations, references to “caravan”; and (b) to make changes consequential upon the creation of the new legal relationship of civil partnership by the Civil Partnerships Act 2004.
