Agenda item

The Corporate Strategic Housing Manager presented his report which provided an update on the outturn position of the Affordable Housing Development Programme for 2016/17 and 2017/18 in relation to Area North, and the future prospects primarily for 2018/19. He highlighted key elements in the report and also noted that although it had been a slow year, 2018/19 was looking better but would be dependent on planning permissions.

During a short discussion, the Corporate Strategic Housing Manager responded to points of detail including more information about:

·         why developers may not be bringing forward some homes

·         the reasons why some sites may be deemed unviable

Members were content to note the report, and thanked the officer for attending the meeting.
