Report number HST25 by the Corporate Governance and Housing Portfolio Holder.                                               (Enclosure)

Minutes:

Decision:

 

  1. To adopt the Private Sector Financial Assistance Policy for 2009/10 and 2010/11 subject to available funding.
  2. That decisions on the application of discretionary policy be delegated to the Portfolio Holder for Governance and Housing.

 

Considerations / Reasons for decisions:

 

  1. Report number HST25 by the Portfolio Holder for Corporate Governance and Housing.
  2. The Policy accords strongly with the council’s priority ‘Customer First’, and also ‘Quality Living’.

 

Other options considered:

 

  1. Whilst there is no specific requirement for the Council to provide financial assistance in certain areas covered by this policy, the Council recognises it would be failing in its role as a housing enabler if it were not to use its wide ranging powers for housing renewal to benefit health and well being of its residents and to improve the district as a whole.
