The Housing Renewal Grants (Amendment) Regulations 1997
These Regulations amend the Housing Renewal Grants Regulations 1996 (“the principal Regulations”), which provide (in Part I) for housing renewal grants generally, and (in Part II) for the amount of renovation grant and disabled facilities grant which may be paid by local housing authorities in respect of applications by owner-occupiers and tenants, under Chapter I of Part I of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. The amendments, which are to Part II of the principal Regulations, reflect recent changes to housing benefit rules and in addition make minor and drafting changes.
