CHAPTER 1

DIRECTIONS SUSPENDING THE RIGHT TO BUY AND RELATED RIGHTS

Consultation
2
1
This section provides for the consultation exercise that a local housing authority must carry out before it may apply to the Welsh Ministers for a direction suspending the right to buy and related rights.
2
The consultation exercise must seek views on whether there is a need for the authority to apply for such a direction.
3
The persons to be consulted are—
a
each social housing provider—
i
which appears to the authority to be a landlord of a dwelling-house situated in the authority's area (but the authority need not consult itself), and
ii
which the authority considers would be affected if its application for a direction is granted;
b
any body or bodies appearing to the authority to represent the interests of tenants of dwelling-houses within the authority's area where—
i
the landlords of those dwelling-houses are social housing providers, and
ii
the authority considers that the tenants of those dwelling-houses would be affected if its application for a direction is granted;
c
any other local housing authority whose area is adjacent to the area to which it is proposed that the direction is to apply, and
d
such other persons as the authority considers appropriate.
