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.

The report provided a review of the programme and specifically sought approval of a revised Three Year Rolling programme that included sites to be investigated in 2016/17 to 2018/19.

Decision of Executive Councillor for Housing

     i.        Approved revisions made to produce the 3 Year Rolling Programme 2016/17 to 2018/19 in the context of the wider Social Housing Programme.

Reason for the Decision

As set out in the Officer’s report.

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.
