Decision details

Council considered a report which sought approval to allocate budget from the Housing Revenue Account Development Reserve for a Stock Condition Survey of the Council’s Housing Revenue Account Dwelling Stock.

The report stated that in line with best practice, and the updated Consumer Standards, a stock condition survey was needed, given that it was now ten years since the previous survey had been undertaken.  The new survey would seek to provide a comprehensive and accurate stock condition dataset enabling the Council to effectively maintain and improve the housing stock, inform decisions about procurement and investment priorities, as well as ensuring that the Council met its statutory and regulatory landlord obligations.

The report set out details of the expected cost and recommended procurement route.

Moved by Councillor Sandra Peake and seconded by Councillor John Ritchie

RESOLVED that budget be allocated from the Housing Revenue Account Development Reserve for a Stock Condition Survey of the Council’s Housing Revenue Account Dwelling Stock.
