Minutes:
The Lead Specialist Strategic Planning advised that the Somerset Housing Strategy had been put together by the 5 Somerset Councils, local Housing Associations and the National Park and she was confident it was a fair reflection of the priorities across the County. The draft Action Plan for South Somerset was in accord with the Council Plan and it would be subject to periodic revision.
In response to questions from Members, the Lead Specialist, Strategic Planning confirmed that:-
· Her team had analysed the service cuts proposed by the County Council and knew where SSDC could work most effectively to minimise their effects.
· Some of the data used in the Strategy could have been more up to date but this was a County-wide strategy.
· The intention of the Strategy was to support, shape and enable appropriate housing in the areas of need.
At the conclusion of the debate, Members were content to adopt the Somerset Housing Strategy and action plan for the district.
