To seek Committee approval for the appointment of a new post to oversee the continued delivery of the 2019 Housing Delivery Plan.

Members considered the request for the approval of a new post to oversee delivery of the 2019 Housing Delivery Plan.

The intention was, that once the Housing Delivery Plan was established, the new build programme would be delivered by a permanent Broxtowe employee. Currently the role was being undertaken by the Interim Housing Delivery Manager. The Housing Delivery Plan aimed to deliver a minimum of 230 new homes between 2020 and 2030. The programme required a permanent Housing Delivery Manager to drive forward and manage the programme.

RESOLVED that a new post of Housing Delivery Manager be established and approved accordingly.

Reason

Without the post The Council would not be able to progress the current programme of new build schemes and would not be able to identify new opportunities going forward. Without the post the delivery of the adopted housing delivery programme would be adversely affected.
