The Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 (Commencement No. 3) Order 2009 SI 363

This Order brings into force provisions in section 64 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008. The provisions commenced enable the Secretary of State to make provision for the dissolution of the Housing Corporation.

___________

The Housing Corporation (Dissolution) Order 2009 SI 484 (C.28)

This Order dissolves the Housing Corporation.

It also makes related transitory provision as to the preparation and audit of the Housing Corporation's final accounts and preparation of its final report (articles 3 and 4), consequential amendments (article 5 and Schedule 1) and repeals (article 6 and Schedule 2).

The main regulatory functions of the Housing Corporation were transferred to the Regulator of Social Housing by the Transfer of Housing Corporation Functions (Modifications and Transitional Provisions) Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/2839).

This Order revokes the Housing Corporation Advances (Increase of Limit) Order 1990.

___________

The Abolition of the Commission for the New Towns and the Urban Regeneration Agency (Appointed Day and Consequential Amendments) Order 2009 2009 SI 801

This Order appoints 1st April 2009 as the day on which, by virtue of sections 49 and 50(1) of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008, the Commission for the New Towns (CNT) and the Urban Regeneration Agency (URA) will cease to exist. It also makes related consequential amendments.

Most of the Homes and Communities Agency's powers were commenced on 1st December 2008 by virtue of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 (Commencement No. 2 and Transitional, Saving and Transitory Provisions) Order 2008 (SI 2008/3068).

That Order (and other orders made under the 2008 Act) contained provisions which ensure, as far as necessary, that anything done by the predecessor bodies (the CNT and the URA) is treated as if done by the Homes and Communities Agency (or Welsh Ministers, as the case may be) and that anything being done by the CNT or the URA immediately before 1st December 2008 may be continued by the Homes and Communities Agency (or Welsh Ministers, as the case may be).
