Report HPR2024/001

 

In July 2020 the Council approved the re-opening and setting up of a Housing Revenue Account (“HRA”) for the provision of affordable housing and had been developing housing on Council-owned land. The Council was registered as a provider of social housing by the regulator on 29th September 2020 (Reg no:5103).

To remain compliant with the regulatory requirements and ensure delivery to our residents, the Council, now a stock holding authority, was required to produce and adhere to various housing policies and strategies.  In March 2023, the Executive approved the draft Tenancy Strategy and the draft Tenancy Management Policy for eight weeks public consultation. This report contained the findings and outcome of that consultation alongside final documents for which approval was sought. 

 

The report had been scrutinised by the Renewal Recreation and Housing PDS Committee at its meeting on 31 January 2024 and the Committee had supported the recommendations.

 

RESOLVED That

 

1)  The results of the consultation exercise be reviewed; and,

 

2)  The Tenancy Strategy and Tenancy Management Policy be approved for adoption by the Council.
