(Housing and Strategic Health Partnerships – Cllr H Whitbread) To consider and approve the Draft Home Ownership Strategy 2023/24 to 2028/29 (C-039-2023-24).

(1)           That the Cabinet approved the Draft Home Ownership Strategy 2023/24 to 2028/29.

The Housing and Strategic Health Partnerships Portfolio Holder, Councillor H Whitbread, introduced the report and stated that this would be the Council’s first formally agreed Home Ownership Strategy, as it was good practice to have one. The strategy showed how the Council dealt with the sale of council residential properties, as well as the calculation and collection of leaseholder service charges, providing information to solicitors and supporting Section 20 consultations for planned works where needed. The report detailed that there had been 341 completed Right to Buy (RTB) applications since 2010/11. It was noted that there were no questions raised.

The report set out the options considered, if any, and the reasons for the recommendation and the decision.

Decision:

(1)           That the Cabinet approved the Draft Home Ownership Strategy 2023/24 to 2028/29.
