Housing Growth Strategy
The Central Lincolnshire authorities of City of Lincoln Council, North Kesteven and West Lindsey District Councils, Lincolnshire County Council and the Joint Planning Unit have published a joint Housing Growth Strategy.
The population of Central Lincolnshire is growing and ageing. Housing growth is necessary to enable young people, families and older people to access homes they can afford which meet their needs. This will ensure that Central Lincolnshire has a ‘balanced’ population and economic prosperity into the future.
The Housing Growth Strategy sets out the housing issues and challenges facing Central Lincolnshire. It identifies six strategic objectives:
- Support the building of new homes in a way that protects the environment
- Provide more homes that people can afford
- Offer homes for people with different needs, including older people
- Look after and improve existing homes, and bring empty homes back into use
- Make sure new homes are good quality and energy efficient
- Keep housing information up to date and based on clear evidence
