5 Housing

Introduction

5.1 PPG3 ‘Housing’ (2000) provides detailed guidance on the Government’s strategy to improve the housing of the nation. This stresses the importance of a co-ordinated approach to the preparation of UDPs and councils’ Housing Strategies within the context of the Government’s wider objectives of delivering an urban renaissance and furthering the principles of sustainable development. As the Council no longer has its own house-building programme it must achieve these objectives by influencing others, particularly Central Government, the Housing Corporation, Registered Social Landlords and the private sector. Many factors influencing the housing market such as mortgage interest rates and income levels are beyond the control of the Council. The Council can, however, make a positive contribution to meeting the housing needs of the District through encouraging and enabling improvements to the existing housing stock, selecting land for housing development, influencing the building programmes of Registered Social Landlords and controlling the location and type of private housing development.
