Consideration was given to the recommendations
of the Housing and Planning Scrutiny Select Committee of 20 May
2025 in respect of a new Policy setting out the approach to Local
Lettings Plans for affordable housing in partnership with
Registered Providers.
 
Due regard was given to the views of the
Scrutiny Select Committee, the financial and value for money
considerations, the risk assessment and legal
implications.  On the grounds of
improving housing options for local people and supporting the
prioritisation of households with a local connection to the area,
Cllr Betts proposed, Cllr Boughton seconded and Cabinet
 
RESOLVED: 
That
 

(1)            
the Local Lettings Plan Policy and template (attached at Annexes A

approved; and
 

(2)            
delegated authority be given to the Director of Planning, Housing
and Environmental Health, in liaison with the Cabinet Member for
Housing, Environment and Economy, to make any minor amendments to
the Local Lettings Plan Policy and/or template as experience in
