Local Lettings Plan - Southgate Bath

Decision Maker: Cabinet Single-Member Decision

Decision status: Implemented

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To create a local lettings plan for newly built social housing in the Southgate development. The plan is to create a diverse and sustainable community that is appropriate for this mixed development

Decision:

The Cabinet Member agrees to approve the local lettings plan for this Somer Community Housing Trust scheme.

Reasons for the decision:

Creating a sustainable community in this high profile area of Bath will have positive benefits to residents and visitors to the area. Moreover it will contribute to the socio-economic future and stability of the area.

Alternative options considered:

To allocate the properties strictly through the Choice Based Letting system without a local lettings plan was also considered. Without a local lettings plan, the new community may lack social and economic diversity in a very high profile area of Bath
