Minutes:
The Head of Housing and
Community Services introduced the report and explained that the
Housing Strategy would work together with the Local Plan to deliver
the housing needed in Maidstone. Key stakeholders and members of
the public would be consulted on the draft document, with feedback
requested on the Council’s delivery of its own housing stock,
the utilisation of smaller sites not prioritised by Housing
Associations, and work with Parish areas to bring forward rural
exception sites. The strategy also addressed issues such as fire
safety and energy efficiency.
RESOLVED: That
1.
The draft Housing Strategy, at Appendix A to the
report, be approved for consultation, with the results reported
back to the Committee; and
2.
A report be presented to the Committee on options
for achieving the delivery of 1000 new homes in
Maidstone.
