Issue details

Purpose of Report: This report will provide an overview of the housing landlord service over the previous 12 months and set priorities for the coming year. The report will cover the recent judgement for the Regulator of Social Housing against statutory Consumer Standards, and related plans for the coming 12 months plus approval of the local Allocations Policy.

The Executive Member will be asked to:
• Note the review of performance over the previous 12 months
• Note the judgement by the Housing Regulator, ongoing priority work and action plans
• Approve the revised Allocations Policy

This item was originally due for Executive on 7 July 2026 but has been deferred to the Combined Executive Member Decision Session on 8 September 2026 because the post regulatory inspection and judgement meeting with the regulator of social housing didn’t take place until June 2026. This meeting confirmed what they will be focussing on and how they will monitor our progress in trying to achieve the expected C1 grading.
