Nid yw’r Ddeddf Lleoliaeth yn darparu ‘hawl cynnig cyntaf i gymunedau’, lle byddai grŵp cymunedol yn gallu cofrestru diddordeb mewn ased a chael y cyfle cyntaf i’w brynu os yw ar werth. Byddai angen deddfwriaeth sylfaenol newydd ar gyfer hyn. Byddai angen asesu’n llawn unrhyw gynigion manwl yn y dyfodol i sicrhau eu bod o fewn cymhwysedd deddfwriaethol y Cynulliad.
The Localism Act does not provide for a ‘community right to first refusal’, where a community group would be able to apply to register an interest in an asset and be given the first opportunity to buy if it comes up for sale. This would require new primary legislation. Any future, detailed proposals would need to be fully assessed to ensure they are within the legislative competence of the Assembly.
