Issue - meetings

The report responds to the request from the Corporate Overview & Scrutiny Committee meeting on 24 June 2014 for provision to be made for those working or seeking work in essential jobs in the borough and for the criteria to prioritise village connections on exception sites in rural areas to be included in the prioritisation process for shared ownership properties in Waverley. It presents a revised priority list based on the results of a survey of local employers on affordability and access to housing issues affecting their staff and recommends establishing a practice note for local housing associations.
