Outcomes and Objectives
Balancing Housing Supply and Demand
1. To ensure that there is access to a choice of good quality housing in sustainable communities across tenures to meet the aspirations of residents and to encourage investment.
2. To secure adequate provision of new housing and maximise the proportion that is built on previously developed land; while seeking to secure an improved mix in the size, type, ownership and location of housing, including the development of sufficient housing at an affordable level and appropriate provision of larger, higher value, low density dwellings.
3. To achieve a better balance between housing demand and supply.
Improving the quality of existing housing
4. To encourage improvements to homes to meet and exceed 'decent homes standards'.
5. To enhance the standard of management of social and private rented housing.
Meeting the Housing Needs of Vulnerable People
