A decent affordable home is important as it provides a safe and stable environment, which can have a substantial impact on people’s lives and their health and wellbeing. As the local housing authority, we work to meet our resident housing needs covering a wide range of aspects from facilitating the delivery of new homes to overseeing housing standards within the district.
The Housing Strategy is reflective of our Corporate Plan, Bolsover District: The Future 2024-2028, and the development framework of the Local Plan for Bolsover District to 2033, which sets out where new homes are allocated in the district and provides for affordable housing to be delivered through the market.
The strategy focuses on delivery under the following key priorities for the period from 2024-2029:
- Priority 1 – Providing Good Quality Housing,
- Priority 2 – Enabling Housing Growth,
- Priority 3 – Supporting Vulnerable and Disadvantaged People,
- Priority 4 – Maintaining and improving property and housing management standards and ensuring that standards and living conditions in the district contribute towards better health outcomes for all.
We are currently completing the public consultation stage of our strategy development and would appreciate your views on the proposed priorities by completing our survey. The questionnaire will go through the four priorities and 11 desired outcomes to see if you agree or disagree with them as well as asking you to rank the priority order for proposed actions under each priority. A draft of the Housing Strategy 2024 to 2029 is available.
The consultation will close on Sunday 29 September 2024 and once you have completed the survey, if you have any additional comments you can This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (opens in a new window) them to us.
