51 Supply and Demand policy (00:48:53) PDF 204 KB
To receive a report from the Head of Housing and Property Services setting out the policy in relation to how the Housing Service will procure accommodation both in and outside the local authority boundary and how it will decide who has priority accommodation in or close to its operational districts.

Minutes:
The Group had before it a report * from the Head of Housing and Property Services. On 2nd April 2015, the Supreme Court found against Westminster Council in a case relating to how it had made a decision on where to place a family to which it owed a duty to accommodate under the Housing Act 1996. The Nzolamesco v City of Westminster judgement had significant ramifications for local authorities who were now required to develop policies to show how they would procure accommodation both in and outside their local authority boundaries and how they would decide who has priority accommodation in or close to their operational districts.
The Housing Options Manager further outlined the contents of the report stating that the policy had been drafted under the new legislation with the intention of preventing a risk to the Council being challenged in the future.
RECOMMENDED that the Cabinet recommend to full Council that the new Housing Options Supply and Demand Policy be approved.
(Proposed by Councillor Mrs H Bainbridge and seconded by Councillor Mrs J Doe)
