(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 2 of the Housing Act 1996 specifies the bodies that are eligible for registration as social landlords. For two categories of body (a society registered under the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1965 and a company registered under the Companies Act 1985) the section sets out conditions that must be satisfied for registration. In addition to the core purposes or objects, there are permissible additional purposes or objects.
This Order specifies further permissible additional purposes or objects that such a body may have, namely-
-
(a) carrying out certain activities, including the provision of land, amenities or services, for persons who are not residents of the body, if any such activity is also being carried out for the body's own residents;
(b) if the body is managing certain accommodation, providing amenities or services for residents both of that accommodation and of other accommodation;
(c) carrying out regeneration activities for the benefit of persons all or some of whom are persons benefitting from activities mentioned in or specified under section 2.
