Decision details

(Report of Director of Central Services)

The report outlined the Council’s approach to undertaking a private sector housing stock modelling exercise to update the current stock condition and inform future policies and targeting of housing resources and services. 

The cost of the modelling exercise was contained in a report in the private part of the agenda since it contained exempt information (LGA 1972 Sch 12A Paragraph 3 – Financial or business affairs of any particular person).

Following consideration by the Communities and Housing Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Housing resolved that:

(1)          the cost of undertaking the housing stock modelling exercise, as set out in the Part 2 exempt information report, be agreed and be funded from the Housing Survey Reserve; and

(2)          the instruction to the Building Research Establishment (BRE) to undertake a housing stock modelling exercise and develop an authority wide integrated house condition and energy base be approved.
