housing development in the district
Our housing strategy and development team responds to
Government policy, sub regional and local priorities in relation to
cross-tenure housing matters.
To fulfil this role we develop, drive and evaluate the success
of housing strategies, ensuring the involvement of stakeholders and
partners in the strategic process. We are required to understand
economic trends and understand housing markets both at regional and
local neighbourhood.
Our main functions are:
- researching local housing need
- consulting with local interested parties
- developing cross tenure strategies to meet the housing need of
the District
- working with partners to secure funding for future provision of
affordable housing
- maximising opportunities for the development of affordable
housing and affordable housing products
- feeding into the development of the Local
Development Framework
- providing advice and negotiating affordable housing provision
with housing developers
- liaising with other housing agencies/providers in West
Lancashire in order to work together more efficiently to provide
sustainable communities and meet the Governments “Place Shaping”
agenda
