That sentence, in plain words

Two words come out of an older rule. Three words go in. The new words add new building to what the rule covers.

What this is about

That older rule is about who the housing must serve. It sets a test tied to income. The change makes the test reach new homes too.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
