Consultation process

The accompanying Local Lettings Plan has been agreed in conjunction with key officers within
CBC, being informed through discussions with the Housing Options and Housing Management
services. These officers suggested clarifying the approach towards letting adaptable properties
on this scheme. Accordingly, this Local Lettings Plan has been amended to clarify how
applicants with proven medical needs will be prioritised for homes with adapted accessibility
features, against the wider context of the Homeseeker Plus policy. Additionally, officers
suggested that (social rented) bungalows included on this site should be advertised to
applicants with a proven medical need for a ground floor property- following discussions with
officers, this suggestion has now been added to the Local Lettings Plan. No additional feedback
was received from CBC officers regarding the proposed Local Lettings Plan. Following sign-off
by CBC officers, the proposed Local Lettings Plan was circulated to the Cabinet Member for
Housing for views and feedback. After reviewing the Local Lettings Plan, The Cabinet Member
for Housing was satisfied with the proposed Local Lettings Plan and Officer Decision.

Finance Comments: N/A- no monetary or financial implications arising from this decision.
