The Executive considered a report in respect of a proposed updated Housing Allocation Policy.
The Chair pointed out that the contents page of the Policy (attached as Appendix A to the report) referred in Section 2 to a number of “Qualification Rules”, but that the Policy itself had them headed as “Non-Qualification Rules”. This needed to be amended so that both descriptions match. The Executive supported adoption of the Policy, subject to the above amendment.
It was RESOLVED:
1. That the new Housing Allocation Policy, as attached at Appendix A to the report, as amended, be approved.
2. That the Policy be adopted on 1 July 2024, subject to confirmation of system build requirements and all applicants and relevant stakeholders having been updated.
3. That an easy read reference guide be created to accompany the Policy.
4. That the impact of the proposed changes be monitored, and the Policy be reviewed 12 months after implementation.
Reason for Decision: As contained in report.
Other Options considered: As contained in report.
