Consultation on Right to Buy Guidance

The Housing (Wales) Measure 2011 was passed in the National Assembly for Wales on 22 March 2011. It was approved by Her Majesty in Privy Council on 10 May 2011. We are consulting on guidance for local housing authorities in the event they wish to apply to suspend the Right to Buy and related rights in areas of housing pressure.
Start of consultation: 28/07/2011
End of consultation: 31/10/2011

We want your comments on:

  1. Is the process for applying for a direction to suspend the Right to Buy and related rights in areas of housing pressure clear enough? If not, how could it be improved?

  2. Do you think the ratio of re-lets to numbers of households on the housing waiting list should be used as an indicator of housing need? If not, why not?

  3. Do you think levels of homelessness should be added as an indicator of housing pressure? If so, why?

  4. Are there any other indicators of housing pressure which you think should be included or deleted from the draft guidance? Please give your reasons.

  5. Do you think the information required from local authorities to make an application to Welsh Ministers is proportionate? If not, why not?

  6. Are there any other comments you would like to make on the draft guidance?
