What is the Housing Delivery Plan?

In 2019, the Council approved a new Housing Delivery Plan to meet social and affordable housing need over the next ten years.

This followed a study by GL Hearn on Social and Affordable Housing Need which concluded that there was a notable need for affordable housing and that provision of new affordable housing was an important and pressing issue in the Borough.

The plan will see a minimum of 230 homes built in the Borough over the next 10 years on land which the Council owns, including brownfield, under-utilised and derelict sites.

It also sets out plans to:

• Buy back existing properties that were once Council homes.
• Re-model existing under-used accommodation.
• Work in partnership with local registered providers to build homes.
• Deliver the Council’s own new build development.
• Meeting the needs of an ageing population and those with conditions such as dementia.

The Delivery Plan is divided into three phases which each use a combination of the above delivery mechanisms:

• Phase 1 - Years 1 and 2 (2019 - 2021)
• Phase 2 - Years 3 to 5 (2021 - 2024)
• Phase 3 - Years 5 onwards (2024 onwards)
