Housing delivery strategy

We’ve put our housing delivery strategy and action plan in place to help us to deliver some of our own social housing in the future to help residents on lower incomes access safe and secure affordable housing.

Our Housing Delivery Strategy

Our delivery strategy also helps us with our aims to tackle the climate emergency to reduce carbon emissions by encouraging developers to use sustainable materials while building well-designed energy efficient housing. As part of this strategy we’re encouraging housing providers and residents to access grant funding to help retrofit their homes to reduce their carbon footprint.

Our Housing Action Plan

Our Housing Action Plan for 2025/26 sets out a clear and focused approach to addressing local housing needs. The plan prioritises the delivery of more affordable housing, strengthens partnerships with housing providers, and outlines strategic steps to support the decarbonisation of homes across the area. Through this work, we aim to make meaningful progress towards improving access to secure, affordable, and energy-efficient homes for our communities.
