53C: Advances by local authority to owners

You could also call this:

"Local council helps building owners with money to follow rules"

If you own a building and you get an order or notice from your local authority under sections like 41, 42, 44, or 46, they can lend you money to help you follow the rules in that order or notice. You can use this money to do what the order or notice says you must do. The local authority is trying to help you comply with their requirements.
