eight-week public consultation be approved.

(ii)             That the Service Director- Regulatory Services in consultation with the

Portfolio Holder for Community Safety and Wellbeing be authorised to agree the final version for publication following the public consultation stage.

The Portfolio Holder for Community Safety and Wellbeing introduced a report seeking approval for the draft Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council Housing and Homelessness Strategy 2026-2030 to be issued for public consultation prior to formal adoption in 2026.

The Strategy would focus on three housing priorities which were outlined at paragraph 2.2 of the report  and their objectives were set out at paragraph 2.3.

The consultation would enable key stakeholders and those affected by the strategy to make their  observations. 

The Strategy was attached to the report at Appendix 1.

The Leader stated that this was an important document and therefore appropriate to have an up to date Strategy taking into account changes that had taken place.

Resolved:    (i)       That the Draft Housing and Homelessness Strategy

2026-2030 for an eight-week public consultation, be approved.

(ii)              That the Service Director- Regulatory Services in

consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Community Safety and Wellbeing be authorised to agree the final version for publication following the public consultation stage.
