<p>Under the Community Right to Bid, the protected period ensures that if, after either
an interim (6 weeks) or full (six months including the six weeks) moratorium has been
triggered but where a sale to the community did not result, the same owner wishing
to sell the asset will not be subject to any further delay as no further moratorium
can be triggered in this period. In total this is an eighteen month period which would
include within it the interim or full moratorium.</p><p> </p><p>Parliament agreed
that this provision struck an appropriate balance between the property rights of an
owner and the rights of the community. Post-legislative scrutiny for the Community
Right to Bid will be taken forward over the next year and will be an opportunity to
consider the efficacy of the right and whether the balance is right, including on
this question.</p><p> </p>
