Consideration by the Welsh Ministers of an application
4
1
If the Welsh Ministers are of the opinion that a local housing authority’s application for a direction suspending the right to buy and related rights meets the requirements of section 3, they must consider the application.
2
If the Welsh Ministers are of the opinion that an application does not meet the requirements of section 3 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 a direction suspending the right to buy and related rights made by the authority;
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.
