(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order specifies an area as a derelict land clearance area.
Under section 1(7) of the Derelict Land Act 1982, the Secretary of State may, with the consent of the Treasury, specify by order that an area is a derelict land clearance area. The purpose of doing so is that the area may be treated under that section as if it 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 from the Secretary of State at the higher rates. This grant may be paid towards expenditure incurred in reclaiming land, improving or bringing it back into use.
The Order specifies an area in Highbarns, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire as a derelict land clearance area. Former chalk mining activity has caused subsidence and the collapse of surface land in that locality. The area specified is shown on the map referred to in the Order. A copy of the map is available for inspection at Dacorum Borough Council, Hemel Hempstead Civic Centre, Marlowes, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, HP1 1HH and at the Department for Communities and Local Government, Eland House, Bressenden Place, London SW1E 5DU.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
1982 c. 42. There are amendments to section 1 which are not relevant to this Order.
