To seek approval of the draft Fareham Borough Council Social and Affordable Housing Adaptations Policy.
In 2009 the Executive approved the Disabled Aids and Adaptations Policy – Council Housing. Since its approval, several key areas of legislation have been amended resulting in a requirement for this policy to be updated.
The Social and Affordable Housing Adaptations policy recognises accessibility as a fundamental design principle. The document outlines the process in ensuring Council tenants with disabilities be provided with housing that best meets their assessed needs in addition to the Council meeting the relevant statutory requirements.
RESOLVED that the Executive approves the draft Fareham Borough Council Social and Affordable Housing Adaptations Policy, as provided in Appendix A to the report, for publication. This to supersede and replace the Disabled Aids and Adaptations Policy (2009).
