Key Questions |
|
1. Are the priorities right for the North West? | |
| | |
2. How would you rank them? | |
| | |
3. How do we balance the thematic and spatial approaches to setting priorities? | |
| | |
4. Should we include priorities unlikely to be funded from the single housing pot, such as work on construction skills issues, but nonetheless central to achieving the strategy’s aims? | |
| | |
Vision (page 7) |
|
5. Is the vision still appropriate for the North West? Is it ambitious enough? | |
| | |
Regional Priorities |
Priorities 1.1 and 1.2:
Urban renaissance and dealing with changing demand (pages 12-14)
|
6. Are these specific and targeted enough? (i.e. are we still ‘spreading the jam too thinly’?) | |
| | |
7. Conversely, are there other parts of the region which you think need to be included? | |
| | |
8. Are there integrated local and sub-regional strategies in place to deliver the transformational change required in some parts of the urban North West? | |
| | |
|
Priority 2:
Areas of unsustainably high housing demand (pages 15-16)
|
9. Where are the hotspots? How should we target our activity? | |
| | |
10. Should we pick rural issues out as a separate strategic priority, or should they be seen as part of the mainstream housing market issue facing the North West? | |
| | |
11. How should we link investment strategies for high demand urban areas with strategies for nearby areas suffering from low demand, or at risk from it? | |
| | |
|
Priority 3:
Meeting the region’s needs for specialist and supported housing (pages 17 – 18)
|
12. What is the role of a regional housing strategy in relation to supported and specialist housing provision? | |
| | |
13. Should investment in these areas simply be determined by comparing current provision with patterns of need, or should it link to regeneration strategies? | |
| | |
|
Priority 4:
Delivering decent homes and thriving neighbourhoods (page 19)
|
14. Should single housing pot resources be allocated to help meet decent homes targets when other sources of funding to achieve this are available to a local authority? | |
| | |
15. What approach should the Board take to stock condition issues in the private and registered social landlord sectors? | |
| | |
16. Is this priority actually only a sub-section of earlier priorities, particularly as much of the worst condition housing lies within Pathfinder areas? | |
