The Act Commentary on Sections Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment
230.Part 8 is concerned with the establishment of a statutory corporation known as the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (the “Commission”). Prior to Part 8 coming into force, there was a non-departmental public body of the same name (the “old Commission”), which was constituted as a private company limited by guarantee. The Act, in effect, transfers the functions, staff and property of the old Commission to the new statutory body, thereby putting the old Commission on a statutory footing. The old Commission is dissolved under the Act.
