Housing Plan 2012 to 2017 consultation
We want to hear your views on our new Housing Plan
We are seeking the views of residents, partners and other stakeholders on the consultation draft Housing Plan 2012 to 2017 which describes the housing related challenges the city faces and our plans to tackle them.
Good quality housing in thriving communities is essential to achieving Plymouth's Vision;
'To be one of Europe's finest, most vibrant water front cities, where an outstanding quality of life is enjoyed by everyone'
We have taken time to develop this consultation draft Housing Plan through multi agency and cross sector task and finish groups to set out how partners across the city can work towards this city vision for its homes and communities over the next five years.
Our current Housing Strategy 2008 to 2011 has delivered real improvements for Plymouth's residents. It is now out of date and we need to focus on what we can achieve in a very different environment. Our challenges ahead are significant. Our responses need to be equally innovative, robust and focused.
This Plan has four key housing themes each containing four priority objectives through which we aim to address the wider housing needs of the city. Each theme reflects on the evidence base on the issues we need to tackle.
Our key Housing Plan themes are:
- Growing the city - Contributing to the economic prosperity, physical regeneration and growth of the city
- Better homes, healthy lives - Making homes safer, healthier and accessible
- Housing choice, smarter solutions - Increasing choice, tackling inequalities and preventing homelessness
- Successful communities - Making neighbourhoods safer, healthier, cleaner, cohesive and more prosperous
The Housing Plan captures the city's housing ambition and sets out priority objectives for developing, improving and investing in people's homes, neighbourhoods and communities up to 2017.
We welcome your views, please let us know if you think our priority housing objectives can help meet the housing challenges faced by the city and if there is anything else we should be doing.
