Minutes:
The Cabinet considered a report on a proposed Tenancy Strategy for Bromsgrove which the Local Authority had a duty to publish by 15th January 2013 under the Localism Act 2011.
It was reported that the Strategy had been developed in close consultation with Registered Providers of Social Housing, stakeholders and Members. The Strategy contained details of the matters to which Registered Providers must have regard when formulating their own Tenancy Policies in relation to issues such as the types and lengths of tenancies they would grant and how disposals of stock should be managed.
Members raised a number of issues, including the need to ensure boats were included in the exclusion list in paragraph 5.40 of the document, in relation to the determination of a Local Connection. It was felt that the document would provide enough flexibility for both this Authority and the Registered Providers in relation to tenancy issues and making the best use of limited stock.
The Cabinet thanked the Strategic Housing and Enabling Officer, Ms. A. Glennie for the work she had undertaken on the Strategy.
RESOLVED that the Bromsgrove District Council Tenancy Strategy as set out in Appendix A to the report be approved.
