EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Home Energy Efficiency Scheme (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/1539) (“the principal Regulations”).

Regulation 3(2) adds the definition of “mobile home” to regulation 2 of the principal Regulations.

Regulation 3(3) amends the powers of the Secretary of State under regulation 3 of the principal Regulations to permit the Secretary of State to revise an allocation of monies to an administering agency within a financial year where such monies have not already been allocated or provisionally allocated to works applications by the administering agency.

Regulation 3(4)(a)(i) disapplies the condition in regulation 4(2) of the principal Regulations where a works application for grant is made in respect of a mobile home. The effect of the amendment is that mobile homes will not need to have the SAP energy efficiency rating prescribed in regulation 4(2) in respect of a works application for grant. Regulation 3(4)(ii) changes the required SAP energy efficiency rating for dwellings from 55 to 63.

Regulation 3(4)(b) substitutes new income-related eligibility criteria for people who are eligible to make a works application for grant.

Regulation 3(4)(c) adds definitions of “parental responsibility”, “qualifying child” and “relevant income” to regulation 4(4) of the principal Regulations.

Regulation 3(5) amends regulation 9(4) of the principal Regulations in consequence of the insertion of regulation 3(5) into the principal Regulations.

Regulation 4 makes transitional provision in relation to a works application made but not determined before the date on which these Regulations come into force.

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

An Explanatory Memorandum is published alongside these Regulations on www.legislation.gov.uk.
