Draft Housing Strategy 2025-2030 – have your say

Overview

The draft Housing Strategy 2025-2030 brings together the various elements that make up the council’s strategic housing function. Its purpose is to identify the key housing issues and challenges facing North Northamptonshire over the next five years and to set high level aims and objectives across the full range of housing-related areas.

The draft Housing Strategy 2025-2030 and its delivery plan has been developed and prepared in collaboration with the relevant service areas within the council, the Voluntary, Community & Social Enterprise Sector (VCSE), professional stakeholders and local residents, to ensure that the housing related themes and issues relevant to the delivery of all aspects of housing are reflected in the strategy and inform the priorities and areas for action set out in the delivery plan.

Ongoing engagement with Housing Provider and Delivery partners, Homes England and Planning will continue through the life of this strategy. This will be done through progression and monitoring of the delivery plan and will be an evolving process.

This strategy is a major policy item for the council. It sets out its priorities, commitments, and delivery programme for the period 2025 to 2030 for a wide range of housing matters and sits within the corporate vision of creating and maintaining ‘A place where everyone has the best opportunities and quality of life.’

We are keen to give everyone in North Northamptonshire the chance to share their views and contribute to the development of this strategy, therefore we are seeking your feedback on the following four priorities:

1. Build new homes across all tenures where people are proud to live.
2. Improving the quality of existing housing stock to provide decent, energy efficient and safe homes.
3. Preventing homelessness to ensure everyone has access to decent, safe, and secure homes.
4. Supporting people to live healthy and independent lives in homes suited to their needs.

For each priority we will ask your views and whether you feel there is anything missing.

There will be an opportunity at the end for any additional comments:
