Rationale for decision

The Local Housing Strategy 2019-2024 was finalised and received cabinet approval in November 2019.



A full EQIA was conducted as part of the development of the strategy and all equality impacts were considered at that time.



The annual updates to the LHS are reflective of progress towards the vision within the existing Strategy and as such does not require a separate assessment.



The next LHS 2025-2030 is currently under development and an updated EQIA will be undertaken.
