Minutes:

Cabinet considered the report of the head of development, regeneration and housing.  This proposed the adoption of a joint housing delivery strategy with South Oxfordshire District Council, to cover the period 2018 to 2028.  The focus of the strategy was for the council to take on the role of housing delivery enabler to assist in meeting housing targets. 

 

Following a study of housing need and housing market trends, the strategy had been developed to housing developments could meet that need, developments could progress with minimal delay and were of good quality.  The strategy would also help provide homes that were suitable for everyone, including enabling independent living, and provide homes that were affordable to those whose needs were not met by the market.  The action plan would enable the council to be more in control over future housing developments in the district. 

 

Cabinet welcomed the strategy. 

 

RESOLVED: to adopt the Joint Housing Delivery Strategy 2018–2028.
