The demolition of the relevant premises is necessary for the regeneration of South Acton Estate. 3. The council intends to demolish the relevant premises by 24 July 2022, however the intention is to demolish as soon as possible after the block becomes vacant. 4. The council will be serving initial demolition notices upon the tenants of the flats. These notices will remain in force until 24 July 2022 unless extended, revoked or otherwise terminated under or by virtue of paragraph 3 of Schedule 5A of the Housing Act 1985. 5. Whilst this notice is in force the council will not be under an obligation to grant a lease as is mentioned in section 138(1) of the Housing Act 1985 in respect of any claim to exercise the right to buy in respect of any of the flats within the relevant premises. 6. However, right-to-buy claims submitted to the council for any of the properties within the relevant premises whilst this notice is still in force will be processed by the council as normal, so that if the demolition plans cannot be implemented the application can be completed. This notice does not prevent a council tenant submitting a right-to-buy claim. 7. There may be a right to compensation under section 138C of the Housing Act 1985 in respect of certain expenditure incurred in relation to any existing right-to-buy claim. 8. Any claim for compensation under the previous paragraph of this notice should be served upon the council within the period of three months beginning from the operative date of this notice. 9. If the council serves a final demolition notice in respect of the relevant premises and a right-to-buy application is suspended because of the service of this notice, that application will lapse and no further application can be made whilst the final demolition notice is in effect. 10. The operative date of this notice is 24 July 2015, which is the date the notice was served on the secure tenants at the relevant premises. 24 July 2015 Pat Hayes, executive director of regeneration and housing, on behalf of Ealing Council
