520			_aConsiders the fiscal initiatives introduced by the Chancellor in the 2001 Budget designed to rejuvenate certain inner city areas. These include: 0% stamp duty on all property transactions; a reduction in VAT to 5% for conversions to residential use; 150% tax relief for cleaning up contaminated land; 100% capital allowances for the conversion into flats of areas above shops. Discusses these measures and their likely impact. Suggests many issues need to be clarified - the exact nature and location of the government's designated deprived zones, for instance - before regeneration activities can commence. Includes tables detailing deprivation criteria and the top ten deprived zones in Britain.
