Decision details
Decision Maker: Corporate Director (Operations and Delivery)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To obtain approval from the Corporate Director
(Operations and Delivery), in consultation with the Portfolio
Holder with responsibility for Housing, to undertake consultation
with relevant stakeholders regarding the proposed introduction of
flexible tenancies for Council properties with three or more
bedrooms and those that have been significantly adapted for tenants
with disabilities.
Decision:
To undertake consultation with relevant
stakeholders regarding the proposed introduction of flexible
tenancies for Council properties with three or more bedrooms and
those that have been significantly adapted for tenants with
disabilities.
Alternative options considered:
Option 1 - To undertake consultation in
connection with the proposed introduction of flexible tenancies for
larger properties and those that have been significantly adapted
for those with disabilities
Option 2 - Not to undertake this consultation. The Council has not
previously taken up the option to introduce flexible tenancies.
However, the current level of demand for Council accommodation
coupled with the limited turnover of existing tenancies means that
consideration is now being given to the use of this tenancy type
for new tenancies that are in short supply and / or in high
demand.
