The Housing (Right to Buy) (Designated Rural Areas and Designated Region) (England) Order 1988 (S.I. 1988/2057)
This Order designates certain areas in the district of Craven as rural areas for the purposes of section 157 of the Housing Act 1985 (“the 1985 Act”). Where a dwelling house in these areas (or, by section 157 itself, in National Parks or areas of outstanding natural beauty) is sold under the right to buy, the vendor can either:—reserve a right of pre-emption if the Secretary of State or (if the vendor is a housing association) the Housing Corporation consents; (general consents have been given for the reservation of such rights); orimpose a covenant requiring its consent to any further disposal unless it is an exempted disposal under section 160 of the 1985 Act. That consent cannot be withheld if the disposal is to a person who has throughout the preceding 3 years had his home or place of work in a designated region, and the Order designates the County of North Yorkshire as such a region in relation to the rural areas designated by the Order.
