Minutes:

Members considered the report of the Head of Policy and Communications relating to the Strategic Plan 2015-20 Refresh. 

 

In response to questions from Members:-

 

(i)  the Head of Policy and Communications advised that there would be links to the emerging Local Plan in terms of affordable housing in the final document;

(ii)  the Head of Housing and Community Services advised that there was a definition within the national framework for affordable housing.  However, Policy and Resources Committee at its meeting in March could choose to break down the affordable housing category further to make it clearer; and

(iii)  the Head of Housing and Community Services agreed that the definition of a ‘homeless person’ is unclear.  This term is used to cover a lot of scenarios, however efforts would be made to make this clearer for the future. 

RESOLVED: 

 

1)  That the projects under the priority action areas be noted; and

2)  That the action plan, milestones and outcomes be agreed.
