Agenda item

RESOLVED; that

1.                            the issues set out in this report be noted and it be agreed that public consultation take place on the proposal to apply for a suspension of Right to Buy/Acquire.

2.                            a further report setting out the results of the consultation and proposed way forward be brought to a future meeting of the Cabinet.

At the start of the item Councillor Graham Hinchey declared a personal interest and left the meeting and took no part in the decision making.

Cabinet considered a report outlining the proposal to go out to public consultation to apply to suspend the Right to Buy.  Currently Council tenants have the Right to Buy their home, the Housing (Wales) Measure 2011 gave local housing authorities the ability to apply to Welsh Ministers for a direction to suspend the Right to Buy/Acquire in areas of housing pressure for a period of up to 5 years.  A further report will be brought to Cabinet outlining the outcome of the consultation.
