REASONS FOR DECISIONS
1. The Council, as a social landlord, has a legal duty to ensure that all its properties are fully compliant and maintained to Decent Homes standards.
2. Following the publication of the Social Housing White Paper it will be a requirement that the Regulator of Social Housing undertakes audits on landlord compliance which will require the Council to have a suitable asset management system in place that can satisfy the requirements of the regulator.
