(2) When any open space for the purposes of ventilation or recreation has been provided by the Board in executing any housing or improvement scheme, the Board may resolve that such space shall, on completion of the scheme be transferred to the local authority concerned, and thereupon notice of the resolution shall be given to such authority.
