EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order disapplies section 93(1) of the Local Government Act 2003 in England in connection with certain property searches. The best value authorities to which this Order applies are set out in article 4.
Under article 1(2), this Order comes into force when the Local Authorities (Charges for Land Searches) Regulations 1994 are revoked. Those Regulations were made under section 150 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, and once revoked, will be replaced with further Regulations to be made under section 150 in respect of charges for property searches.
Section 93(1) of the Local Government Act 2003 enables best value authorities to charge for services and its disapplication will enable the draft regulations to be made under section 150 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 which are laid in Parliament on the same day as this Order. Otherwise, section 150(1)(b) permits such regulations to be made only in respect of anything “in respect of which there is no power or duty to impose a charge apart from the regulations”.
