Recommendation
approved
 
Reasons for
recommendation
To implement the council’s decision to
purchase properties in delivery of the Chorley residential property
acquisition strategy.
 
To purchase properties for Refugee
Resettlement Programme for:

-      
Single repatriation

-      
10 refugee families
 
To enable Chorley Council to support the
resettlement and integration of refugees into the borough in high
quality homes.
 
Other options
considered and rejected
To source properties from the private rented
sector and develop five-year legal agreements negating the need for
Chorley Council to procure any additional properties. This was
previously rejected due to insecure tenancy and possible
poor-quality housing provision.
