Report No:   CAB/SE/18/020

Portfolio Holder: Sara Mildmay-White        Lead Officer: Davina Howes

RESOLVED:

That the revised Lettings Policy, attached at Appendix 1 to Report No: OAS/SE/18/005, be approved.

The Cabinet considered Report No: CAB/SE/18/020, which sought approval for a revised Lettings Policy.

On 7 March 2018, the Overview and Scrutiny Committee considered Report No: OAS/SE/18/005, which set out proposed revisions to the Lettings Policy.  These revisions were required as a result of recent case law and to ensure that the Lettings Policy was compliant with the requirements of the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017, which came into force on 3 April 2018.  The Overview and Scrutiny Committee had considered the draft policy in detail and recommended its adoption.

Councillor Sara Mildmay-White, Portfolio Holder for Housing, drew relevant issues to the attention of Cabinet, including that the revisions, as summarised in Section 1.1.2 of the Cabinet report, had been subject to consultation and agreement of the Home-Link (Choice Based Lettings scheme) partners of the Cambridge and West Suffolk sub-region.

RESOLVED:

That the revised Lettings Policy, attached at Appendix 1 to Report No: OAS/SE/18/005, be approved.
