As confirmed in its response to the Phase 2b property scheme consultation, published in July 2017, the Government has concluded that publishing individual decisions would lead to an unacceptable risk of individual applicants being identifiable, even following redaction.

We are committed to keeping this area under review. We have made available more detailed guidance and statistics on compelling reasons to sell within successful and unsuccessful applications in order to better support applicants.
