Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: Yes

Date of Decision: November 14, 2024

Purpose: Adoption of NNC Housing Compliance and Fire Safety Policies

Content: RESOLVED   KEY DECISION   That the Executive approved the North Northamptonshire Council Housing Compliance Policy.     Reason for Recommendations – To accord with legislation requirements placed upon the Council as a Landlord by adopting the proposed Housing Compliance Policy, Council officers will be able to align services with Government legislation and deliver a consistent service across the Council’s Housing stock.   Alternative Options Considered – To revise and update the previous legacy Corby Borough Council and Kettering Borough Council policies for these Landlord functions. However, this was not deemed suitable as it would have meant continuing with a different approach to these statutory compliance functions across the two legacy Landlord Council areas, rather than delivering a consistent North Northamptonshire Council approach across the Housing stock.
