To approve the revised Acquisitions
Development and Disposals Policy for its housing stock and
authorises its direct and immediate implementation.

Note: the Portfolio Holder decided to adopt the policy in May.
However administrative oversight has delayed publication.

Reasons for the decision

In order to set in place clear plans and
policies to inform future maintenance and management activities and
such policy framework to evidence compliance with regulatory
standards. This Policy further provides that our buildings are fit
for purpose, sustainable, provide suitable access and are
appropriate for use to meet the demand for housing within the
District.

Alternative options considered

Not revising the Policy in place – not
proposed – the revised policy includes additional details in
relation to disposals and updates other areas in relation to the
current environment.
