9 Section 89 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 introduced a duty on local authorities to prepare a local housing strategy. The new local housing strategy provisions in the 2006 Act cover Housing Renewal Areas and the Scheme of Assistance as well as the tolerable standard.
10 The new LHS duty also covers housing renewal areas and the scheme of assistance. Our guidance on these topics provides further information on the new duties.
11 The guidance is web-based and will be available via the Scottish Government website at www.scotland.gov.uk

14 In a room with four walls of equal size, 10% of the wallspace equals two fifths of the area of one wall.
15 Other spaces include cupboards, store-rooms, utility rooms and lofts.

18 We use the term 'roof insulation' in this chapter. The term covers loft insulation laid between the joists of a loft, as well as insulation installed in other types of roof spaces (such as rooms in the roof space and flat roofs).
19 The word 'house' here (as in all our guidance) has a generic meaning and extends to flats. Where we want to distinguish between different types of houses we highlight this in the text.
20 For example the Scottish Government's Warm Deal programme uses a depth of 270mm when installing loft insulation.
21 The Warm Deal programme does not cover all types of roof insulation. See its website (link at the end of this chapter) for more information.
22 A mansard roof has two slopes on each of the pitched faces of the roof. The lower slope is steeper than the upper slope. Some mansard roofs have windows in the lower, steeper slope.
23 This analysis uses data from the 2004/05 Scottish House Condition Survey. The data here is indicative rather than definitive because the level of confidence in SHCS findings falls when dealing with subsets and small sample sizes. In addition, the survey involves imputing values where surveyors cannot gain access to the roofspace to make informed judgements about the presence of insulation.
24 The final version of this guidance will include details of how Scottish Water will make this information available to local authorities.
