Purpose of report
To seek approval for the adoption of the Housing Strategy which had been presented to the Housing Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 19 June 2025.
Decision
That Cabinet:
1. Approve the draft Housing Strategy.
2. Delegate to the Director of Housing and Projects, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Housing, the making of minor amendments to the Strategy, as required by changes to regulation or legislation.
Alternative options considered and rejected
The 2020-2024 Housing Strategy could have been refreshed based on its current priorities and the data updated. However, the priorities were implemented in 2020 and the context for the priorities had changed considerably in the last 5 years with regards to national housing legislation, regulation and policy.
The Council could have chosen not to have a Housing Strategy as there was no statutory or legal requirement to have one in place. However, as outlined within the report, it was considered best practice to do so.
Reasons for the decision
A new Housing Strategy was agreed in order to provide a clear framework for all housing policy across the district for all tenures as this was considered best practice.
