Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):
(1)A licence may include such conditions as the local housing authority consider appropriate for regulating all or any of the following—
(a)the management, use and occupation of the house concerned, and
(b)its condition and contents.
(2)Those conditions may, in particular, include (so far as appropriate in the circumstances)—
(a)conditions imposing restrictions or prohibitions on the use or occupation of particular parts of the house by persons occupying it;
(b)conditions requiring the taking of reasonable and practicable steps to prevent or reduce anti-social behaviour by persons occupying or visiting the house;
(c)conditions requiring facilities and equipment to be made available in the house for the purpose of meeting standards prescribed under section 65;
(d)conditions requiring such facilities and equipment to be kept in repair and proper working order;
(e)conditions requiring, in the case of any works needed in order for any such facilities or equipment to be made available or to meet any such standards, that the works are carried out within such period or periods as may be specified in, or determined under, the licence;
(f)conditions requiring the licence holder or the manager of the house to attend training courses in relation to any applicable code of practice approved under section 233.
(3)A licence must include the conditions required by Schedule 4.
(4)As regards the relationship between the authority’s power to impose conditions under this section and functions exercisable by them under or for the purposes of Part 1 (“Part 1 functions”)—
(a)the authority must proceed on the basis that, in general, they should seek to identify, remove or reduce category 1 or category 2 hazards in the house by the exercise of Part 1 functions and not by means of licence conditions;
(b)this does not, however, prevent the authority from imposing licence conditions relating to the installation or maintenance of facilities or equipment within subsection (2)(c) above, even if the same result could be achieved by the exercise of Part 1 functions;
(c)the fact that licence conditions are imposed for a particular purpose that could be achieved by the exercise of Part 1 functions does not affect the way in which Part 1 functions can be subsequently exercised by the authority.
(5)A licence may not include conditions imposing restrictions or obligations on a particular person other than the licence holder unless that person has consented to the imposition of the restrictions or obligations.
(6)A licence may not include conditions requiring (or intended to secure) any alteration in the terms of any tenancy or licence under which any person occupies the house.
