EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Building (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2006 (the "2006 Regulations"). These Regulations will come into force on 28th March 2007 before the 2006 Regulations come into force on 1st May 2007 so that the amendments will already be in place.
The amendments are in relation to the Schedule to the 2006 Regulations.
Regulation 2(a) substitutes a new Schedule 2 (which relates to conversions) for the one contained in the Schedule to the 2006 Regulations.
Regulation 2(b) makes changes to paragraphs 6.9 and 6.10 of Schedule 5 which is contained in the Schedule to the 2006 Regulations. The amendment to paragraph 6.9 is in relation to one of the limitations to the standard regarding energy performance certificates and provides that the limitation will not apply to shell and fit-out buildings and stand-alone buildings which were previously included in the limitation. The amendment to paragraph 6.10 is with regard to the Limitation thereto so that domestic buildings do not need to comply with the standard.
