Purpose

Asset Management Strategy for SHG / SMBC
Homes

Content

The Committee has
considered a proposal for the adoption of the Asset Management
Strategy (AMS) 2026–2031 and the associated five-year capital
investment programme, as recommended by the Stockport Homes Group
(SHG) Board and has then approved and adopted the Asset Management
Strategy 2026–2031 and the five-year capital programme
totalling £90.69 million (HRA).

Alternative options considered

To not approve the
Asset Management Strategy 2026–2031 and the five-year capital
programme, however this has been rejected on the grounds that to do
so would fail to ensure that the Council was able to ensure
compliance with statutory obligations, maintains Decent Homes
standards, and addresses emerging risks such as building safety
requirements under the Building Safety Act 2022 and Social Housing
Regulation Act 2023.
