Purpose

To present the findings from the HRA stock condition surveys

Decision

To note the findings from the stock condition surveys and the strategy for using and maintaining data.

Reasons for the decision

To ensure the Council is informed about the condition of its housing stock; the data is used to inform investment strategies; and there is a plan in place for ensuring robust up to date data is maintained.

Alternative options considered

Do nothing. In this event, PMP and Cabinet would not consider information regarding stock condition. This option is not preferred because the safety and quality standard set by the Regulator of Social Housing requires landlords to have an accurate, up to date and evidenced understanding of the condition of their homes.
