EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order specifies a locality in the Briar's Lane area of Hatfield in the Hatfield Central Ward in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield as a derelict land clearance area. Former chalk mining has caused actual and apprehended collapse of the surface of land in that locality. The land is not in a development or intermediate area specified under section 1 of the Industrial Development Act 1982 (c.52).

Under section 1(7) of the Derelict Land Act 1982, the Secretary of State may, with the consent of the Treasury, specify land by order so that the preceding provisions of that section have effect as if the land were in a development or intermediate area. This means that the local authority in whose area the specified land is situated may apply for grant at the higher rates towards expenditure incurred, in reclaiming, improving or bringing it back into use.

The locality specified is shown on the map referred to in the Order. A copy of the map is available for inspection during working hours at Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, Council Offices, The Campus, Welwyn Garden City, AL8 6AE and the Department for Communities and Local Government, Zone 1/D1, Eland House, Bressenden Place, SW1E 5DU. Copies can be obtained from the Department for Communities and Local Government, Zone 1/D1, Eland House, Bressenden Place, SW1E 5DU.

Notes:

 [1] 1982 c. 42 as amended by section 187(1), Schedule 21 paragraph 8 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (c.28). There are other amendments which are not relevant to this Order.back
