Agenda and minutes

There were no declarations of personal interest.

RESOLVED that the decision record of the meeting held on the 18^th March, 2021 be signed as a correct record.

The Executive Board Member for Housing considered a report on proposals to adopt a Local Lettings Policy for the Council’s new build development at Maespiode, Llandybie comprising eight two bedroom homes which, would be ready for occupation in the Summer of 2021. It was noted the Llandybie ward was an area of high housing need and, if adopted, the policy would apply to the initial letting of the homes to a mix of tenants across the allocation policy bands helping to create a sustainable community.

The Executive Board Member referred to the policy being in operation for 6 months to ensure the community was properly established and sought clarification that should a property be vacated within that 6 month period any re-let would be made in accordance with the local lettings policy. The Strategic Housing Delivery Manager confirmed the policy would still apply in those circumstances

RESOLVED that the Local Lettings Policy for the new homes in the Maespiode new build development, Llandybie be approved
