Part A Report - Fixing Our Broken Housing Market (Government White Paper)

Supporting documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report from the Head of Planning (previously circulated)  in respect of the recently published ‘Fixing the Housing Market’ White Paper.

 

The White Paper had been published on 7 February 2017 and set out the Government’s approach to ‘fixing’ the housing market by reshaping the approach to housebuilding and boosting the nation’s housing supply.

 

In this regard, the Committee received a  presentation on the White Paper from the Council’s Head of Planning.

 

The Committee was advised that the Paper had been structured around four chapters, namely:

 

- Chapter 1: Planning for the right homes in the right places

- Chapter 2: Building homes faster

- Chapter 3: Diversifying the market

- Chapter 4: Helping people now

 

As one of the key issues facing Local Planning Authorities was the level of housing need that they had to try and meet, the Government was proposing to create a standard methodology for assessing housing needs and a consultation in this regard would be published in due course. Members noted that from April 2018, the level of needs resulting from the methodology would form the baseline for assessing 5-year housing land supply.

 

Consultation on the proposals runs from 7 February 2017 - 2 May 2017.

 

 

Decision

 

To give the Head of Planning delegated authority to respond to the consultation paper and circulate to Members

 

[For 10                                                Against 0                                            Abstain 0]
