Commentary on Sections Chapter 2 - Variation of Direction to Suspend the Right to Buy Section 10 – Application for enlarging variation
35.Section 10 sets out the requirements which must be met by an authority’s application for an enlarging variation. As with an application for a direction under Part 1, an application for an enlarging variation involves preparing a draft of the direction that the authority wishes the Welsh Ministers to issue and an explanation of the reasons the authority considers the condition referred to in section 8 exists and why an enlarging variation would be an appropriate way to deal with it. The authority must explain what other action it will take, in addition to the suspension of the right to buy, in order to tackle the imbalance between the demand for and supply of social housing.
