Decision details

To adopt the Housing Revenue Account Governance Framework: Housing Landlord Services 2024/25

1)    That the Housing Revenue Account Governance Framework: Housing Landlord Services 2024/25 be adopted. 

2)    That minor operational amendments to the Framework be delegated to the Assistant Director – Housing, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Strategic and Operational Housing.  

As a responsible social landlord, the Council was required to have robust governance arrangements in place to monitor and scrutinise the management of the Housing Landlord Service. The Regulator of Social Housing would consider the effectiveness of governance arrangements as part of their programmed inspection of the Council as a registered provider.

Do nothing – to not adopt the Framework.  This was not recommended as it was necessary to evidence the arrangements in place for governance as part of meeting the requirements of the outcomes of the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023.
