Recommendations

The recommendations for Executive are as follows:

i)                 Consider the detailed consultation that was undertaken on the draft Housing Strategy, along with the analysis of the feedback and the consequent revised Housing Strategy 2024 to 2029.

ii)                Bring forward a report to Full Council recommending the adoption of the North Yorkshire Housing Strategy 2024 to 2029.

Considered – A report of the Corporate Director – Community Development presenting the North Yorkshire Housing Strategy 2024-29 for approval for the strategy to be taken to Council for adoption.

Councillor Simon Myers introduced the report.  In September 2023 approval had been given for public consultation on a 5 year draft Housing Strategy, the first housing strategy for North Yorkshire Council.  The report provided details of the consultation process and those consulted with.  This was a high-level strategy and action plans were being developed to deliver the council’s aspirations.  At budget Council in February the Housing Revenue Account budget had been approved and this gave a commitment to the development of 500 new council homes, as well as a commitment to upgrading and maintaining existing housing stock.

Resolved – That:

i)                 the detailed consultation that was undertaken on the draft Housing Strategy, along with the analysis of the feedback and the consequent revised Housing Strategy 2024 to 2029 be considered; and

ii)                a report be taken to Full Council recommending the adoption of the North Yorkshire Housing Strategy 2024 to 2029.
