Local housing authority's proposed regeneration scheme is not unlawful on account of consultation or officer's report, and potential removal of secure tenants' right to buy does not engage A1P1, ECHR (High Court)

The High Court has held that the London Borough of Lambeth's decision to regenerate a social housing estate was not unlawful on account of either its consultation of residents or the supporting officer's report, and that the removal of secure tenants' right to buy homes on the estate did not engage Article 1 of the First Protocol (A1P1) of the European Convention on Human Rights (R (Plant) v Lambeth London Borough Council [2016] EWHC 3324 (Admin) (21 December 2016)).
