REASON FOR DECISION:

This proposal offered value for money, would meet local housing need and increase the Council’s housing stock. 

OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED:

The option to not purchase the properties was rejected as the properties were to fulfil a housing need in the area. This housing mix best supported that identified housing need.
