Housing Act 1969

30 Changes with respect to general improvement area

(1) A local authority may by resolution—

(a) exclude from a general improvement area any land for the time being included therein ; or

(b) declare an area to be no longer a general improvement area;

but such a resolution shall be of no effect unless approved by the Minister.

(2) Where it appears to a local authority desirable in the interests of the improvement of the amenities of an area which has been declared a general improvement area that any land adjoining the area should be included in the general improvement area, they may by resolution include the land in the general improvement area and cause the general improvement area to be re-defined accordingly.

(3) As soon as may be after passing a resolution in pursuance of subsection (2) of this section the local authority shall—

(a) publish in two or more newspapers circulating in the locality (of which one at least shall, if practicable, be a local newspaper) a notice of the resolution identifying the land included in the area by the resolution and naming a place or places where a copy of the resolution, and of the map on which the general improvement area is re-defined, may be inspected at all reasonable times; and

(b) send to the Minister a copy of the resolution and of the map and a statement of the number of dwellings on the land.
