Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To approve the Council entering into a funding agreement with Homes England to enable phase 2 of the Housing revenue account affordable housing programme.

 

Decision:

 

Following consultation with officers I have made the decision set out in the attached report. This decision was published on 20th February 2019 and will come into force on 28 February 2019.

Reasons for the decision:

To maximise funding for the provision of affordable housing.

Alternative options considered:

The Council has the option not to enter into the funding agreement and its conditions but that course of action would prevent the claim of Homes England funding and so is not recommended.

Other reasons / organisations consulted

This item has not be referred to Overview and Scrutiny as it is the implementation of a previous cabinet decision via entering into a formal agreement with Homes England
