6f07eb62-93f2-403b-a776-993138abc797 | The Housing Act of 1925 was really a consolidating Act, and this Act had repealed most of the purely Housing Acts which had preceded it. Before 1925, the principal Housing Act was the Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1890, and the 1925 Act repealed the whole of the 1890 Act with the exception of Section 74, and this... |
8074fae6-f9f9-417e-812b-5715bc09b5ef | As far as Public Health Departments are concerned, the Act seeks to improve housing conditions by processes suitable for three different kinds of unsatisfactory property—slum.s requiring clearance; areas which are bad, but remediable by treatment less drastic than demolition; and insanitary houses requiring individual ... |
b9f40d24-6039-4828-85f5-6a59a8f8741c | In future, there will be no schemes for the condemnation of an area, and its reconstruction, but the local authority will declare an area to be a Clearance Area, that is an area to be cleared of all buildings. The area is to be cleared by requiring the owners to demolish the buildings, or by the local authority purchas... |
f43d4222-0446-440f-a28c-7c852f994de3 | Where a local authority, upon consideration of an official representation or other information in their possession are satisfied that an area is an 9 19 30 unhealthy area, the authority shall cau.se that area to be defined, and shall pass a resolution declaring the area so defined to be a Clearance Area. There is reall... |
0492b484-b6ea-4aaa-aa9f-7cdbc39bb827 | If nothing is done with the site for a period of 18 months, the local authority may by resolution purchase it and use as they will or sell or lease it upon conditions. This clause was probably inserted to prevent undue holding of the land. That is the fir.st method of dealing with a clearance area. The second method is... |
778b7fe8-1dbf-43c6-8817-e45699372531 | There is one condition which must be observed before the local authority can proceed with a Clearance area, and that is that they are prepared to rehouse those who will be displaced by the demolition of the houses. The authority must satisfy themselves that suitable accommodation is available for the persons of the wor... |

837ac216-2faf-4d76-a1a8-23f9c87968d5 | This definition is not so wide as that which was specified in the Ministry of Health's Manual on Housing. It is obvious that the houses must by reason of their structural condition or by their insanitary condition or by their insanitary surroundings be unfit for human habitation or dangerous or injurious to health. It ... |
f0a683a9-ef6e-4449-a39c-108c08adcaa1 | These matters have been submitted by the Town Clerk to the Hou.sing Committee, but I deemed it expedient to bring them before the Health Committee because some misunderstanding exists about the powers of the Council and the class of property to which the Clearance area and Improvement areas of the Act will apply. It wi... |

They will be dealt with under individual houses. It may be. well, though, to deal with the older areas, as some people are under the impression that all the houses in t... |

Carter Paterson's Depot and the Co-operative Factory, and on the South by the Fire Station and the High Street.

Nos. 7, 8, 9, 9a and 10 are all through houses. The back yards are small, but each house has its own sanitary convenience situated at the rear of the house. Nelson Place co... |
ef3f1928-db57-4ebe-96ef-72c5a0e221c0 | These houses can be rendered fit for human habitation, but there is some doubt as to the expense, having regard to the cost of the works necessary and the value which it is estimated that the dwelling houses will have when the works are completed. The condition of the houses will be more fully described under individua... |
756ffc91-99c4-4bd1-ab43-8944b0356d1e | Of the total number of house.s in the Steyne, there are only 4 which cannot reasonably be rendered fit for human habitation. There are other houses which at the present time are in a poor condition, but these can be rendered fit at a reasonable expense. It will be seen that the area does not come within the category of... |
07b29d6c-3090-4aa6-886d-110b9cbec6a2 | The general conditions in an Improvement Area are tho.se which we associate with a slum area, but some or even the great majority of the houses are not in such state as to make them unfit for human habitation. But the defining of an Improvement Area corresponds largely with that of a Clearance Area, except that the ref... |

59273732-350c-4b85-b2b0-ec3852d1d853 | The second part of the Act deals with the repair or demolition of insanitary houses„ and replaces a number of sections of the Act of 1925, dealing with the repair, closing and demolition of unfit houses.

It may be assumed that structural defects are not an important factor in our housing problem, but it would be entirely incorrect to assume that we have no hous... |
e4711d70-610d-4961-99e1-51010f28f569 | One of the chief problems in those days was a scarcity of suitable houses, but whereas then it would have been possible to meet the needs by the erection of a reasonable number of houses, the conditions have now changed. There was plenty of unbuilt land within easy access of the chief industry of the district. These co... |

They refused the offer and various excuses were offered, but the chief excuse was that they could not break off with old associations and leave the old famihar haunts. But while this instance may be typical of the attitude... |
6c931384-3fef-48df-8a24-15e9cf55b93b | The Council could not cope with all the demands, as at the present time almost all the land in the district has been built over Even if the whole of the unbuilt land were apprcpriated for the erection of houses of a Certain type, there would not be sufficient accommodation for all those who now come into the district t... |

3b4b29d3-f89c-4265-883e-7a15aacc2656 | There is a tendency on the part of local authorities that have erected houses to have more regard to the ability of the tenant to pay his rent regularly than to the needs for better housing accommodation. It has been suggested in some quarters, that some assistance should be given in the form of a rent rebate to those ... |
