Decision No: D070174MEM
Date: 8th October 2007
Decision(s) and Reason(s)
The Housing Green Paper, "Homes for the Future: More Affordable, More Sustainable"
Minutes
Consideration was given to a proposed response to the Government's Housing Green Paper, 'Homes for the future; more affordable, more sustainable', published by the Department for Communities and Local Government on 23 July 2007. The report indicated that the Green Paper focussed on building new homes to meet demand, including more affordable homes and that it should be viewed in the context of other major reviews and policy initiatives around localism and empowerment of communities. The report recommended a response which included endorsement of the response by the Local Government Association.
Following consideration by the Strategic Housing Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Housing resolved that the comments set out in paragraphs 1.15 to 1.17 of the report be endorsed as the basis of the Council's response to the Housing Green Paper.
Reasons: As set out in the report submitted to the Strategic Housing Advisory Board of 8 October 2007.
