Housing strategy and policies
The council's plans for using fixed term tenancies
We are currently consulting on our draft local tenancy strategy. In this we say that most new council tenants will be offered a fixed term tenancy of 5 years with a review at the end to see if they still need a council tenancy. We are holding a stakeholder event and focus groups of citizens panel members and housing applicants. You can also complete an online survey. For more information, click here.
The Housing Strategy 2010-2025
The overarching aim of our Housing Strategy is:
“...providing housing choices that meet the needs and aspirations of Barnet residents.”
The strategy contains the following 5 key objectives that will ensure that Barnet remains a successful London suburb:
- Increasing housing supply, including family sized homes, to improve the range of housing choices and opportunities available to residents
- Improving the condition and sustainability of the existing housing stock
- Promoting mixed communities and maximising opportunities available for those wishing to own their home
- Providing housing related support options that maximise the independence of residents
- Providing excellent value services that exceed residents expectations.
