a) The Draft Housing Strategy with the revisions recommended by the Committee be circulated to Committee Members and appropriate Substitute Members electronically for approval;
b) Where a ‘Target’ is present in the document, this should be changed to read ‘Target Date’;
c) The early creation of the document ahead of the Localism Bill becoming Law created a hiatus in the Committee’s understanding of some of strategy’s intentions. It is recommended that where the wording in the document can appear vague; the sentence should begin ‘it is anticipated that’.
d) The order in which information is presented to demonstrate how priorities will be actioned should be revised to the following for ease of read:
o Priority o Why it is important to Maidstone o Outcomes (labelled a, b and c if multiple) o Actions
e) Under Priority 3 in the document there should be an additional paragraph to cover large landlords, offering the assurance that there will be action taken against any landlord providing poor living conditions;
f) The outcomes should be harder hitting in their wording, providing a powerful statement rather than a diluted explanation;
g) The document provides a reference to risk factors and other areas of Housing that have their backing in another overarching document. Where this is the case there should be a footnote or a link to the relevant website;
h) The Committee expressed their interest in the development of the West Kent Local Investment Plan and the Kent Supported Plan. John Littlemore to provide copies or links to these documents via the Scrutiny Officer; and
i) That Assisted Living be addressed and be brought into the Housing Strategy.
