Part VII: Renewal Areas

Subject to subsection (2) below, a local housing authority may by resolution—

exclude land from a renewal area; or
declare that an area shall cease to be a renewal area;

and as soon as may be after passing such a resolution the authority shall take the steps required by subsection (5) below.

Before exercising any power under subsection (1) above, an authority shall take such steps as appear to the authority best designed to secure—

that the proposed exclusion or cessation, as the case may be, is brought to the attention of persons residing or owning property in the area; and
that those persons are informed of the name and address of the person to whom should be addressed representations concerning the proposed exclusion or cessation.

The authority shall take such . . . steps as appear to them best designed to secure that the resolution is brought to the attention of persons residing or owning property in the renewal area.

A resolution under subsection (1) above has effect from the day on which it is passed.

A resolution under subsection (1) above does not affect the continued operation of the provisions of this Part, or any other enactment relating to renewal areas, in relation to works begun before the date on which the exclusion or cessation takes effect; but the resolution does have effect with respect to works which have not been begun before that date, notwithstanding that expenditure in respect of the works has been approved before that date.
