Decision details

Arising from a *report of the Head of Housing and Property Services and a recommendation from the Decent and Affordable Homes Policy Development Group, the PDG had recommended that the revised policy be adopted.

The Cabinet Member for Housing outlined the contents of the report stating that the reviewed policy had been updated to reflect changes in good practice and future legislation changes in pet and animal ownership.  The policy gave greater clarity on responsible pet and animal ownership taking into account good practice identified by the RSPCA. 

Consideration was given to paragraph 7.2 of the policy and the number of pets per household that was felt to be acceptable.

RESOLVED that the recommendation of the Decent and Affordable Homes Policy Development Group be approved.

(Proposed by Chairman)
