The Derbyshire Clause

It is understood that the property is subject to an occupancy clause as detailed below;

References in conveyancing documents relating to Section 19 of the Housing Act 1980 and Sections 37 and 157 of the Housing Act 1985 (as amended) are more commonly known as the Derbyshire Clause or the Peak District Clause. Section 19 and 157 relate to former Council houses and Section 37 relates to private houses with a restrictive clause attached.

On 16 March 2006 the Partnership & Regeneration Committee of the Derbyshire Dales District Council resolved to provide delegated authority to the Head of Democratic Services to give consent in accordance with the following guidelines:

• Consent will automatically be given to a person who has lived or worked within Derbyshire or the Peak District National Park for a period of three years before the transaction.

• Consent will be given where a person has a local connection with the area and is returning to the area to care for another relative.

Consent will be given to registered social landlords whose stated aim is to provide housing for those satisfying the qualifying criteria. Consent will also be conditional on compliance with this requirement.

• All other cases will be referred to Members (Councillors) for the exercise of their discretion

• Consent will be given to members of the armed forces, with a local connection, to living in the area

Section 157 of the Housing Act 1985 (as amended), states that any person wishing to purchase a former Council property with a restriction under this Act must satisfy certain criteria. This means they must have lived or worked preceding the application for consent. If the property is purchased jointly, only one of the purchasers need to comply with the provision of Section 157 of the Housing Act 1985 (as amended).

Any new purchaser of a property with a clause of this type will be required to obtain a letter of consent from the District Council to enable them to register the property at the Land Registry.
