Purpose

To provide a quarterly update to Cabinet on property and compliance matters relating to BCP Homes

Decision

RESOLVED that Cabinet noted the compliance information provided which details how the council is performing against statutory building compliance and property related matters on its council housing.

Voting: Unanimous

Portfolio Holder: Housing and Regulatory Services

Reason

The council, as a landlord, has many legal obligations it must satisfy to ensure the health, safety and welfare of its tenants and leaseholders. It must also adhere to the regulatory standards as set out by the Regulator of Social Housing, particularly the Safety and Quality Standard. 

Councillors should also have oversight and assurance of compliance against the legal and regulatory requirements that are placed upon it through this quarterly report to Cabinet.
