Commentary on the Sections: Part 1

Commonhold unit

Section 11: Definition

59. Section 11(2) requires the commonhold community statement to define the extent of a commonhold unit and requires also that there must be at least two such units in the development because there can be no commonality or, indeed, common parts requiring the operation of the commonhold scheme unless there are interdependent units.  Subsection (3) sets out the matters that the commonhold community statement must deal with for this purpose, including the provision of plans, and in particular allows for the unit to consist of one or more areas of land, whether or not contiguous, and subsection (4) makes it clear that a commonhold unit need not contain any part of a building.
