Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: No

Date of Decision: November 11, 2025

Purpose:

Content: RESOLVED   KEY DECISION   That the Executive adopted the Fire Safety Policy as set out at Appendix A to this report.     Reason for Recommendations – To accord with legislation requirements placed upon the Council as a Landlord, by adopting the proposed Housing Fire Safety Policy, Council officers will be able to align services with Government legislation and deliver a consistent service across the Council’s Housing stock.   Alternative Options Considered – To revise and update the previous legacy Corby Borough Council and Kettering Borough Council policies for this Landlord function. However, this was not deemed suitable as it would have meant continuing with a different approach to this statutory compliance function across the two legacy Landlord Council areas, rather than delivering a consistent North Northamptonshire Council approach across the Housing stock.
