Please note:

The content of this Non-HRA Guidance and Drafting has been approved by Infrastructure UK and HM Treasury.  However, it remains subject to further consideration and development in respect of projects under development.  

Regard to and compliance with Non-HRA Model Documentation is mandatory for Non-HRA projects. Non-HRA projects should also use the HRA Model Documentation as the basis for drafting. However, where alternative drafting is proposed due to HRA provisions not being applicable or being inappropriate, such alternative drafting will normally be acceptable where demonstrated as such, subject to approval by CLG / HCA.
