Minutes:
Cabinet considered a report to approve the Key Worker Housing Policy.
Cabinet noted that the policy would ensure that the Council allocate these affordable homes in a fair and transparent way, in line with the Council’s existing policy of affordable housing allocation.
Cabinet acknowledged that a Equality Impact Assessment had been completed and agreed that they were satisfied with the content.
Resolved to
|
1. approve the Key Worker Housing Policy for use with immediate effect. 2. note that a comprehensive review of the policy will take place within 12 months of being in operation, to inform a more established policy going forward. |
Reasons for decision:
The administration is committed to providing affordable homes for local key workers, with the first of these new homes being available at the initial phase of Benwell House later this month.
In putting the policy together, officers have considered independent research into Spelthorne’s local key worker population, as well as the operational practicalities of delivering a key worker housing scheme.
