EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order specifies an area in Drake Gardens, Tavistock, West Devon as a derelict land clearance area. Former lead mining has caused actual and apprehended collapse of the surface of land in that locality. The land is not in a development or intermediate area specified under section 1 of the Industrial Development Act 1982 (c.52).
Under section 1(7) of the Derelict Land Act 1982, the Secretary of State may, with the consent of the Treasury, specify land by order so that the preceding provisions of that section have effect as if the land were in a development or intermediate area. This means that the local authority in whose area the specified land is situated may apply for grant at the higher rates towards expenditure incurred, in reclaiming, improving or bringing it back into use.
The area is shown on the map referred to in the Order. A copy of the map is available for inspection at West Devon Borough Council Offices, Kilworthy Park, Drake Road, Tavistock, Devon, PL19 0BZ and at the Department for Communities and Local Government, Eland House, Bressenden Place, London SW1E 5DU.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
1982 c.42. There are amendments to section 1 which are not relevant to this Order Back [1]
