Arising from a *report of the Head of Housing and Property Services, the Decent and Affordable Homes Policy Development Group had recommended that the revised Housing Services Allocations Policy be approved.
The Cabinet Member for Housing outlined the contents of the report stating that homes in the District which become available for letting were allocated appropriately in order to make best use of the stock. The revised Allocations Policy set out the authority’s approach to the use of preference labels on adverts for available properties through Devon Home Choice and reinforced the cascade process.
Consideration was given to the homeless; Members were informed that this was dealt with via a different strategy.
RESOLVED that the recommendations of the Policy Development Group be approved.
(Proposed by Cllr R L Stanley and seconded by Cllr Mrs M E Squires)
