Housing and Regeneration Act 2008

Section 34 – Determinations under sections 32 and 33

69.This section sets out the process for determinations under sections 32 and 33. A determination could define the “relevant events” which would trigger these requirements (e.g. the disposal of a grant-funded property), or it could specify the purposes to which sums may be applied (e.g. the provision of similar properties, the refurbishment of others, etc.).

70.Subsection (1)prohibits the HCA from making a general determination without the consent of the Secretary of State. And subsection (2)requires the HCA, before making such a determination, to consult the Regulator of Social Housing, and other appropriate persons.

71.The HCA may vary or revoke a determination but, in varying or revoking a determination, the HCA cannot override the provision that events and principles according to which it exercises its powers to recover grants must be predetermined.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
