Housing (Wales) Measure 2011

11 Consideration by the Welsh Ministers of an application for an enlarging variation

(1) If the Welsh Ministers are of the opinion that a local housing authority’s application for an enlarging variation meets the requirements of section 10, they must consider the application.

(2) If the Welsh Ministers are of the opinion that an application does not meet the requirements of section 10 they must refuse to consider it unless, in their opinion, the failure to comply with the requirements is immaterial or insignificant in which case they may consider the application.

(3) The Welsh Ministers must notify an authority in writing if they—

(a) are obliged under subsection (1) to consider an application for an enlarging variation;

(b) decide under subsection (2) to consider such an application, or

(c) are obliged under subsection (2) to refuse to consider an application.

(4) The day after that on which a notice was sent under subsection (3)(a) or (b) is to be treated as the date on which the Welsh Ministers decided to consider the application.

(5) If, before the Welsh Ministers have decided to consider an application, a local housing authority provides further information under section 27, it is to be treated as if it formed part of the application.
