Draft Housing Strategy
We are asking residents, organisations and local partners for their views on our draft Housing Strategy, which will help shape the future of housing across the district over the next five years.
This consultation closed on Wednesday 15 April but the details are being left on this page for the public’s information. Comments can no longer be submitted.
The strategy sets out how the council, organisations, businesses and communities can work together to:
- understand the housing challenges we face and local housing needs
- deliver the council’s vision for housing across the district
- provide more affordable homes
- improve the quality of existing council homes
This consultation seeks feedback on the draft Housing Strategy, including its priorities and ambitions. We want to know:
- what you think are the most important housing priorities for the district
- your views on the council’s ambition to increase the number of council homes
- what type of affordable housing is most needed
- any other comments you may have about housing priorities in the district
The consultation also includes specific questions for developers and registered providers about housing delivery, viability and constraints.
You can still read the draft Housing Strategy.
