Matter for Decision

In July 2014, the Executive Councillor for Housing approved a three year rolling programme of housing sites in the Council’s ownership for consideration for development, redevelopment or disposal.

Any Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

Not applicable.

 

Scrutiny Considerations

 

The Committee received a report from the Managing Director, Housing Development Agency.

 

He confirmed that any funds delivered by devolution needed to be spent within five years. This was agreed to mean starts on site rather than completed projects.

 

The Managing Director, Housing Development Agency asked the Committee to note that there were no sites added to the programme this year.

 

The Committee unanimously resolved to endorse the recommendations.

 

The Executive Councillor approved the recommendation.
