That the Portfolio Holder for Housing and Planning:
1)Considers and agrees to adopt the revised Housing Allocations Policy;
2)Authorises its direct and immediate implementation, subject to call in; and,
3)Delegates authority to the Corporate Director for Operations and Delivery to make future updates or amendments to the policy in consultation with the Portfolio Holder responsible for Housing.

The recommendations are to ensure that the policy is appropriately adopted, in accordance with the Council’s Constitution and scheme of delegation and to evidence compliance with regulatory standards.

The only alternative option considered was to not implement a revision of the Housing Allocation Policy.
