Purpose

To seek Executive approval for the draft
Fareham Housing Tenancy Strategy to go forward for a period of public
consultation.

 

The report details the contents of the draft
Fareham Housing Tenancy Strategy.  The
Strategy must set out the matters to which registered providers (such as
Housing Associations) within Fareham must have regard when formulating their own
policies.  It also outlines the Council’s
own approach to tenancies as part of the Council’s role as a social housing
provider.

 

Approval is sought for a six-week period of
public consultation to be undertaken, prior to the policy returning to the
Executive for formal adoption.

 

At its meeting of 6 November 2025, the Housing
Advisory Panel considered the Tenancy Strategy. Minor amendments were suggested
and are detailed further in this report.

Decision

RESOLVED that the Executive:

 

(a) 
notes
the feedback from the Housing Advisory Panel and approves the Draft Fareham Housing
Tenancy Strategy to move forward for a period of public consultation; and

 

(b) 
agrees
that any minor changes to the Strategy prior to public consultation are
delegated to the Director of Housing and Health following consultation with the
Executive Member for Housing.
