1

In considering whether to give its approval to a scheme or variation the Welsh Ministers must, among other things, take into account—

a

the effect of the scheme on the extent and character of housing accommodation in the neighbourhood,

b

the period of time proposed in the scheme as the period within which the proposed disposal and redevelopment will take place, and

c

the extent to which the scheme includes provision for housing provided under the scheme to be sold to, or occupied under occupation contracts by, relevant persons.

2

“Relevant persons” means existing contract-holders under an occupation contract with the landlord and, if the landlord is a community landlord, persons nominated by the landlord.

3

The Welsh Ministers must also take into account—

a

any representations made to them, and

b

so far as they are brought to the Welsh Ministers' attention, any representations made to the landlord.

4

The landlord must give to the Welsh Ministers such information as to the representations made to the landlord, and other relevant matters, as the Welsh Ministers may request.
