Consideration was
given to recommendation HP 24/25 of the Housing and Planning
Scrutiny Select Committee of 21 May 2024 in respect of proposals
for a new transfer incentive scheme policy to assist with making
best use of existing housing stock.
 
Cabinet had due
regard to the views of the Scrutiny Select Committee, the financial
and value for money considerations, the legal implications and
recognised that a financial incentive might not be the only factor
in encouraging tenants to downsize. The Borough Council would work
with relevant housing providers and other agencies to offer support
where required.
 

RESOLVED:  That
 

(1)        
the Transfer Incentive Scheme (at Annex 1) be approved.
