APPENDIX 3

Contact: Antony Payne, ext 6766

1. Summary

1.1 The following decisions were taken:

(i) That the response already submitted by the Director of Environment on the South East Draft Regional Housing Strategy be endorsed, and a supplementary submission be proposed in the light of the amended draft consultation, which reflects the concerns of the Cabinet on housing for key workers and the inadequacy of affordable housing provision generally.

(ii) That the text of the supplementary submission be approved by the Executive Member for Environment or the Executive Member for Spatial Strategy.

2. Reason

2.1 The consultation period was very short because of the Government's requirement that the first Regional Housing Strategy Statement be submitted by the end of July.

3. Other Options Considered and Rejected

3.1 Failing to provide a response within the period for redrafting.

4. Conflicts of Interest Declared by the Decision Maker or a Member or Officer consulted - None.

5. Dispensation granted by the Standards Committee - Not applicable.
