Section 386: Duty to prepare management scheme.

Housing Act 1985 · 1985 c. 68View on legislation.gov.uk

Part XI: HOUSES IN MULTIPLE OCCUPATION

After a control order has been made, the local housing authority shall prepare a management scheme and shall, not later than eight weeks after the date on which the control order comes into force, serve a copy of the scheme on—

every person who is, to the knowledge of the authority, a dispossessed proprietor or an owner, lessee or mortgagee of the house, and
any other person on whom the authority served a copy of the control order.

Part I of Schedule 13 has effect with respect to the matters to be provided for in a management scheme and for appeals against such schemes and related matters.

This section does not affect the powers conferred on the local housing authority by section 381 (general effect of control order), and accordingly the authority may carry out works in a house which is subject to a control order whether or not particulars of the works have been included in a management scheme.
