(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Central Rating List (England) Regulations 2005 (“the Central Rating List Regulations”).
The Central Rating List Regulations designate persons and prescribe in relation to those persons descriptions of non-domestic hereditament, under section 53(1) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988, with a view to securing the central rating en bloc of those hereditaments.
The Schedule to the Central Rating List Regulations lists all designated persons and sets out the description of hereditament prescribed in relation to each of them. Regulation 2(2) of these Regulations amends Part 12 of the Schedule (long distance pipe-line hereditaments) to reflect changes in ownership and occupation of certain long distance pipe-lines.
Section 53(4) of the Act provides that amending regulations altering the designated person in relation to a description of hereditament may have effect from a date earlier than that on which the amending regulations are made. Pursuant to that power, the company added to the list by regulation 2(2)(b) is added with effect from the dates on which ownership of the relevant pipelines transferred to that company.
A full impact assessment had not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
1988 c.41. Section 53 was amended by paragraph 29 of Schedule 5 to the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 (c.42). These powers are now vested in the Welsh Ministers so far as they are exercisable in relation to Wales. They were previously transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by article 2 of the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672): see the reference to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 in Schedule 1. By virtue of paragraphs 30 and 32 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c.32), they were transferred to the Welsh Ministers.
S.I. 2005/551, amended by S.I. 2008/429, S.I. 2010/456, S.I. 2010/2692 and S.I. 2011/2743. There are other amending instruments but none is relevant.
