That Cabinet approve and adopt the Decant Policy for 2023-2026 as set out in the Appendix to the report.

The Portfolio Holder Housing presented a report which set out how the Council supported its tenants across the Districtwhen it was necessary to move from their homes temporarily or permanently to complete major works, or for the demolition or disposal of the property. This was known as the decant process, and a proposed Decant Policy for 2023-2026 was attached as an appendix to the report.

AGREED      (unanimously) that Cabinet approve and adopt the Decant Policy for 2023-2026 as set out in the Appendix to the report.

Reason for Decision

To ensure the Council has suitable arrangements in place to support tenants with moving to facilitate necessary works to homes and for good management of housing stock to support our Community Plan objective to create more and better quality homes through our roles as landlord, developer and planning authority.

Options Considered

None, it is necessary to support tenants in this manner.
