Consultation on the general consents issued under section 25 of the Local Government Act 1988

This consultation is on a revised version of the general consents issued under section 25 of the Local Government Act 1988.

The revised consents remove the requirement on local authorities to seek the specific consent of the Secretary of State to dispose at less than market value for the provision of privately-let housing accommodation of (a) vacant housing land, and (b) vacant dwellings to other registered providers.
