EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order appoints 1st April 2009 as the day on which, by virtue of sections 49 and 50(1) of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008, the Commission for the New Towns (“the CNT”) and the Urban Regeneration Agency (“the URA”) will cease to exist. It also makes related consequential amendments.

Most of the Homes and Communities Agency’s powers were commenced on 1st December 2008 by virtue of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 (Commencement No. 2 and Transitional, Saving and Transitory Provisions) Order 2008 (SI 2008/3068). That Order (and other orders made under the 2008 Act) contained provisions which ensure, as far as necessary, that anything done by the predecessor bodies (the CNT and the URA) is treated as if done by the Homes and Communities Agency (or Welsh Ministers, as the case may be) and that anything being done by the CNT or the URA immediately before 1st December 2008 may be continued by the Homes and Communities Agency (or Welsh Ministers, as the case may be).

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
