Section 39, Sub-section 1 (b) of the Housing of the Working Classes Act, 189C,
and thereby directed a scheme to be prepared for the improvement of the said
area ;
Now, therefore, we the Vestry of the Parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, in furtherance
of such resolution and by virtue of the powers conferred upon us by the Housing
of the Working Classes Act, 1890, do make this scheme for the improvement of
the said area.
DESCRIPTION OF AREA.
1. The lands and houses comprised in the said area are delineated by the colour red in
the plan hereto annexed, and the houses are specified in the Schedule hereunder
written.
ACQUISITION OF LANDS.
2. It is intended by the petition of the Vestry to the Local Government Board for an
Order sanctioning this Scheme, to ask that such Order do incorporate the provisions
of the Lands Clauses Acts, so that the said area, or any part thereof, may be taken
compulsorily if it cannot be purchased by agreement.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING BUILDINGS.
3. So soon as the Vestry shall have purchased the said area by agreement, or taken
it compulsorily, the materials of the buildings thereon shall be sold and removed
therefrom.
DEALING WITH THE VACANT AREA.
4. It is proposed to close Moira Place and so much of Custance Street and Moneyer
Street, as are in the area, and discontinue their use as public streets or ways. The
vacant area shall with all convenient speed as to so much thereof as lies between
Nile Street and the red line drawn parallel therewith, and so much thereof as is
included between the red lines drawn on the said plan, between East Road and
Britannia Street, be laid out and dedicated as and for public streets, and as to the
remainder (including the sites of Custance Street, Moneyer Street and Moira Place
within the said area) either as a whole or in sections be sold in fee simple, or let on
building lease for 99 years, upon such terms and conditions (subject to clause 5
of this scheme) as the Vestry shall approve, or be applied to such other purpose.;
as the confirming authority may allow. Any sale or letting may be preceded by an
agreement providing that the erection of houses according to Clause 5 of this scheme
by the purchaser or lessee, shall be a condition precedent to such sale or letting.
ERECTION OF HOUSES FOR THE WORKING CLASSES.
5. In the conveyances, building agreements, or leases of some part or parts of the said
area, the Vestry shall provide for the erection or completion by the purchaser or
lessee within a reasonable and stated time, of dwelling-houses suitable for the
