That Cabinet adopt the Empty Homes Strategy 2012-17

Cabinet received a report to enable Members to consider the Empty Homes Strategy.  The report outlined the main aims and objectives of the strategy and highlighted ways in which the Council could seek to tackle empty homes in the Borough.

The Portfolio Holder for Regeneration, Planning and Town Centres mover the recommendation and highlighted to Members that the Strategy would not be fluid due to the many changes coming from Central Government but that a robust action plan was essential. The Portfolio Holder confirmed that an action plan had been produced that was flexible enough to deal with the upcoming changes and that this would be made available to Members.

RESOLVED:   That Cabinet adopt the Empty Homes Strategy 2012-17
