Bringing empty homes back into use
I am currently responding to reps on our Revised Preferred Draft Core Strategy and as some of you have probably experienced, many people dont want additional new housing at the level we are proposing! Several comments relate to the re-use of empty properites within our district. Is anyone aware of a mechanism/ guidance whereby the re-use of empty properties can be used to offset the housing target?
They cannot count towards the housing target set in the regional spatial strategy - this has to be comprised of new dwellings. At least one local authority has tried and failed with this argument in the past.
