(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke, with savings, the Rate Relief (Energy Efficiency Homes Scheme) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 which provided for rate relief for dwellings in respect of which owner-occupiers had made energy efficiency improvements to their home. Savings provisions are made for cases where an application form has been requested from the Energy Saving Trust before 1st April 2011 and an application is subsequently made to the Trust before 1st July 2011.
