Decision details

(Report of Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health)

The report provided an explanation of the Government’s Housing Delivery Test which provided an annual measurement of housing delivery at local level.  The report sought endorsement of the preparation of an Action Plan which identified the profile of housing supply within the Borough and actions to be taken to boost delivery.

Following consideration by the Planning and Transportation Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Infrastructure resolved that:

(1)   the draft Housing Delivery Test Action Plan, set out at Annex 1 to the report, be endorsed; and

(2)   following engagement with relevant stakeholders, the Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Infrastructure and the Chairman of the Planning and Transportation Advisory Board, be authorised to agree the final version of the Action Plan.
