Consultation process

The overarching governance housing investment plan and new supply is governed by a number of key groups led by Senior Officers at CBC and through a specific Affordable Housing Project Board. This and other emerging forums created following the CBH transfer into CBC will monitor the overall delivery of the acquisition, alongside other development opportunities that materialise as part of the current pipeline. Housing colleagues have been involved in the discussions around this acquisition who are supportive in securing these flats. In addition to retaining much needed affordable housing within the town.

Consultees

The Council’s Monitoring Officer and Democratic Services have been consulted in addition to CBC’s Executive Director Finance and Assets (August 2024).
