Will the Cabinet Secretary confirm which clause or clauses in the Developer Remediation Contract enables the Welsh Government or others to take a developer to court in order to enforce the contract, and under which circumstances will the Government do so?

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government | Answered on 18/09/2025

Failure by any party to the developer contract, in relation to any clause of the contract that places obligations on them, could amount to a breach of contract.

The legally binding documentation signed by developers includes a requirement for monitoring. Should the agreed terms not be met, the Welsh Government would take steps to address this.

Any enforcement action by the Welsh Ministers would be on a case-by-case basis after consideration of the matter giving rise to the breach.
