Housing Enforcement Policy
|
Yes |
The report will set out the detail of the proposed NYC housing enforcement policy, which is required in order for us to deliver our statutory duties in relation to housing standards in the private sector.

As this is based on statutory legislation, consultation has been undertaken in house with environmental health and enforcement officers across the legacy council areas who deliver the service, in addition to other environmental health colleagues regionally and nationally. |
Consultation was

Housing Assistance and Disabled Adaptations Policy
|
Yes |
Due to the variations in approach towards the method of delivery of the disabled facilities grant, there were also some subtle variations between the legacy areas in relation to their policy approach and their interpretation and implementation of legislation. Whilst all areas are using the powers and flexibilities given within the legislation, there has been some variation in terms of scope of works undertaken along with differences in financial thresholds and parameters adopted. The report will outline how the policy seeks to draw together an interpretation of the mandatory elements of Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) legislation and the discretionary elements of the RRO into a single published document. The report will therefore sets out the key recommendations for the policy and seek agreement to adopt the North Yorkshire Housing Assistance and Disabled Facilities Grant Policy for the new authority. The new policy is to be adopted for all tenures, to provide a consistent approach to delivering adaptations for owners and tenants in the private sector and our own housing tenants. |

Delivering Better Value in SEND – Acceptance of Grant Allocation from the Department for Education
|
Yes |
North Yorkshire Council has been participating in the Delivering Better Value in SEND programme, sponsored by the Department of Education through 2023. 52 other local authorities have participated in the programme, which is intended to identify opportunities to improve outcomes for children and young people with SEND and support local authorities in improving the financial sustainability of their high needs budgets. All authorities within the programme are entitled to apply for an implementation grant of up to £1 million to support the delivery of a change programme. A grant application of £1 million has been submitted – this will be assessed by the DfE, and at this stage we cannot say if the grant application will be successful. However, because the time availability to deploy the grant is restricted, we are planning for all eventualities – and this report will outline the considerations in whether North Yorkshire should accept the grant allocation, if such an offer is forthcoming
|
The change programme
contained in the grant application has been the subject of
extensive discussion and consultation with key stakeholder groups,
including Schools Forum and the High Needs Funding Sub Group, the
five locality boards, parent and carer representatives, health
sector partners and school headteacher networks. |
