Decision:
Resolved
(1) That the Cherwell District Council Housing Strategy 2025-2030 be approved.
Minutes:
The Assistant Director Wellbeing and Housing submitted a report to seek approval for the new Cherwell District Council Housing Strategy 2025-2030.
In response to a question from the Leader of the Independent regarding whether any sites in the district had been identified as suitable for keyworker housing, the Portfolio Holder for Housing explained that keyworker housing was important and the Strategy was broad enough to allow for future discussions on this.
Resolved
(1) That the Cherwell District Council Housing Strategy 2025-2030 be approved.
Reasons
It is important that the Council has up to date policies for its key service areas and it is important that they are legislatively and operationally sound. A periodic review of policies is therefore appropriate.
Alternative options
Option 1: Not bring forward a new Housing Strategy. This is rejected as it is a best practice that the Council produces and reviews its housing strategy.
