Economic Downturn Impact on Housing Market
Minutes
The effects of the current economic situation on the delivery of housing on significant sites in the borough were described. Short term changes to the tenure and delivery of affordable housing which sought to secure a supply of affordable housing into the medium term were explained.
Following consideration by the Strategic Housing Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Housing resolved that:
1) the ongoing impact of the economic downturn on the local housing market be noted;
2) the measures underway with housing association partners and developers in an effort to minimise the impact of the downturn on the supply of affordable housing be endorsed; and
3) the temporary arrangements to re-house residents displaced by the recent fire at the block of nine homes at Holborough Valley be noted.
As set out in the report submitted to the Strategic Housing Advisory Board of 5 January 2009.
