Delivering high quality housing in safe and secure neighbourhoods and ensuring that North Lanarkshire is a place where everyone enjoys good quality housing in a pleasant and safe environment is a key priority for the North Lanarkshire Partnership and North Lanarkshire Council. The Local Housing Strategy:
-
Provides an overview of the housing system in North Lanarkshire.
-
Provides the strategic framework for the future development of the local housing system, through which housing providers and investors can operate, so that needs and demands can be met more effectively with available resources.
-
Establishes a shared understanding of the issues and priorities where some form of intervention is required.
-
Sets out an Action Plan on how these issues and priorities will be addressed by the Council and its partners.
-
Sets objectives and targets, identifies and appraises options, and shows how progress will be monitored and impact evaluated.
-
Identifies how the Strategy contributes to the achievement of the national housing priorities and the wider social objectives as identified in the Community Plan.
The Strategy sets out four main investment priority themes. These are:
Addressing Housing Requirements to ensure that there is a sufficient supply of houses in the size and type people want, in the areas they want to live and that they can afford.
Developing appropriate housing and related services to Promote Community Regeneration.
Improving Stock Conditions and Energy Efficiency helping to reduce fuel poverty.
Assisting People With Particular Needs to ensure there is a range of house sizes and types available with appropriate support to meet the needs of people with particular needs.
The Strategy will be a working document and will be developed throughout its five year life. Feedback will be sought on a continuous basis. The document will be formally reviewed on an annual basis.
