Reasons for Decision |
|
10.3.1 |
Members
are asked to note the response provided and the potential impacts
on the Housing Revenue Account noted in the response. The Council
are unable to set rents for council housing until the outcome of
the consultation is known. A further report will be required to the
Housing Policy Committee and/or to Strategy and Resources Committee
to confirm council housing rents for 2022/23 depending on when the
final determination is issued. |

10.4 |
Alternatives Considered and Rejected |
|
The Secretary of State provided the opportunity
for Registered Providers to respond to their consultation
proposals. There are significant potential implications arising
from the proposals, so it was important for the Council to respond
to highlight these to the government in the required
timescales. |
