Focus and Strategy
Focus on Strategic Housing
We are at the forefront watching developments in the world of Housing, both nationally and locally. We use this information to advise the council on solutions for ensuring all services are prepared to respond to any statutory changes.
Housing Strategy
The team have completed a Draft Housing Strategy 2017-2020 which recognises and sets out how we will aim to respond to the demands of the market in Bassetlaw.
The key document which underpins the Draft Housing Strategy is the Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) which identifies what types of housing are needed to meet the demands of the market today, and the anticipated demands for the future.
