🏡A new three-year strategy – which outlines how Chesterfield Borough Council will ensure all local residents have access to a quality home that meets their needs – has been approved. The strategy sets out the council’s housing ambitions from 2024 to 2027 for housing of all tenures across the borough – with the aim of ensuring that everyone in the community can access good quality, affordable and well managed homes. The new strategy has been developed in line with consultation feedback received from tenants, residents and elected members. It sets out the programme of activities and initiatives that the council will deliver over the next three years and identifies seven key priorities for the housing service to focus on: - Continuing to deliver more homes by building more properties - Providing homes that are affordable - Investing in and improving the quality of existing homes - Climate change and decarbonisation - Following legislation set out in the Social Housing Regulation Act 2023 - The provision of specialist and supported accommodation - Tackling homelessness and rough sleeping - Stancliffe homes construction building The strategy has a strong role to play in helping the council reach its target of becoming a carbon neutral borough by 2050, by establishing plans to decarbonise its own housing stock and support the decarbonisation of the borough’s private sector housing stock. As well as ensuring its own stock meets the government’s Decent Homes Standard, the council will also enforce conditions in the private rented sector to ensure that private landlords supply good quality, healthy and safe private rented properties. #LoveChesterfield #ChesterfieldNews

Really positive panel discussion today on "Building up? How housing can bolster British prosperity" hosted by Bright Blue with National Housing Federation Karbon Homes and Metropolitan Thames Valley. Broad agreement on the need for more of the right homes, in the right places and how important that is for the economy. Different takes on what that looks like. No doubt that good, affordable housing improves outcomes for people and supports individual and UK prosperity. Kate Henderson reminding us why we need a long-term plan for housing and, in the context of this conversation, how significant a role housing associations play as employers, developers, and as an important part of the fabric of our society.

This is a huge announcement. With new governments comes change and Premier Minns has made clear his intentions to radically increase the delivery of new homes - 377,000 new homes in five years as part of the National Housing Accord is a huge target. I worked closely with the GCC in my previous role - they copped much criticism but did a lot of great work. Having an independent agency providing advice on Sydney-wide strategic planning, outside the Department of Planning, generated many fresh ideas. Strategic planning, aligning growth with infrastructure and housing, and balancing that with what the private sector can deliver is an incredibly difficult task. They may have not always got it right, but I think Sydney is a better place for the work they did. With a new chapter in planning comes new opportunities. My hope is that the Minns government sticks to its guns when it comes to increasing density around transport hubs and brings the community along so they understand the increased density also brings benefits through more green space and improved local infrastructure.

#Housing in many countries around the world remains a vexed subject and not just because of the uplift in interest rates over the past few years. Tighter monetary policy has clearly impacted affordability in the sales market but alongside this, the delivery of sufficient homes across all tenures remains an ongoing challenge, while the implementation of targets to increase the sustainable features of housing continues to be contentious.

🗣 Commenting on Secretary of State Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Michael Gove’s speech on the Government’s long-term plan for housing, Chris Hobson said: “Plans to relax planning rules in cities are welcomed as this is a crucial step towards enabling regeneration, particularly when it comes to converting empty retail units into housing. “This will enable cities, which have been directly affected by the pandemic and its economic aftershocks, to more naturally evolve as supply and demand changes without the shackles of an over-reaching planning system." ➡ Continue reading >>> https://lnkd.in/e5B-NNtp #housingmarket #housing #costofliving #economy #development #planning #eastmidlands #business #latestnews #newsupdate Scott Knowles DL Lucy Robinson David Pearson Rashmi Overthrow Ian Bates
