Housing Strategy

The council is required by Government to write a housing strategy that sets out a clear vision for the kind of housing that is appropriate to the district and how this will be delivered. For our latest Housing Strategy update see the menu on the right.

  
About the Housing Strategy

The priorities of the strategy are:

  • increase the overall supply of housing, especially affordable housing
  • improve the quality of existing housing stock 
  • prevent homelessness and improve housing options
  • develop sustainable communities
  • meet the housing need of vulnerable groups, including older people and young people leaving care

The Housing Strategy is assessed and monitored to make sure that the council performs well.  We consult widely about the housing strategy and welcome your views.
