Transformational Housing Delivery Programme

18/02/2019 - Vision for a Transformational Housing Delivery Programme

Agreed

That Council:-

 

(1)        adopt the Vision for a Transformational Housing Programme which would inform the production of the Greater Exeter Strategic Plan (GESP) and provide a strategic context for: redevelopment of the City Council’s assets, the production of Site Planning Statements to clarify expectations on sites offering scope for redevelopment; investigating options resulting from the Government’s removal of the cap on local authorities’ borrowing to fund the delivery of new council housing, and to assist planning responses to an acute housing land supply problem in Exeter; and

 

(2)        note the Greater Exeter Industrial Strategy which sets out an ambitious land acquisition and infrastructure investment bid amounting to £350m in support of a transformational housing programme for the sub-region, and it is assumed that the Transformational Housing Programme would require significant investment in infrastructure and land assembly to realise the 20 year programme.

 

Reason for Decision:

 

As set out in the report.
