Decision

The Council has agreed to enter into a nominations agreement with Abri Housing Association for new affordable homes being delivered in the area.

Reasons for the decision

This agreement ensures that the Council retains the right to nominate eligible local residents for these homes, helping to meet local housing needs and provide secure, affordable accommodation for our community.

Alternative options considered

An alternative option would have been not to enter into a nominations agreement; however, this would have resulted in the Council having no formal rights to nominate eligible households to the affordable homes, reducing our ability to meet local housing need.
