The Council will produce in
summer 2007 an annual update to the Housing
Strategy in the form of a position statement.
We have produced a 'Balancing Housing Markets' self-assessment
which is required as part of the council's submission for its
Comprehensive Performance Assessment. This document looks at the
work that the council's Housing and Planning Services are doing in
order to address any gaps in the type of housing available in the
Borough and to assist those residents who are unable to secure
homes for themselves through the current private housing
market.
- It sets out the council's ambitions in this area, the types of
initiatives it has in place to work towards these ambitions and
what it has achieved so far. It also explains what the
council has learnt in carrying out these activities and how it will
use these lessons in delivering future services.
Accessible Homes Strategy
The Accessible
Homes Strategy (word) outlines the problems
faced by those with mobility related disabilities in accessing
suitable housing in the Borough of Eastleigh. It highlights the
already high and increasing costs associated with adaptation works
carried out to existing homes, sets the overall issue against the
context of current legislative and regulatory framework and
recommends progress towards the provision of lifetime homes and
wheelchair accessible housing.
