Written answers

The list of housing developments which have been designated eligible for a waiver from the household charge in 2012 was extracted from the National Housing Survey 2011, having regard to the categorisation of estates by local authorities under the Unfinished Housing Developments Public Safety Initiative. This list is set out under the Local Government (Household Charge) Regulations 2012. All households resident in a development prescribed as an unfinished housing estate for the purposes of the Act are covered by the waiver.

I have been advised that only properties with the address of Carmen Lawn are included as part of the reference to Belmont Upper, Douglas.
