Yes

Decision Made

That Cabinet:

1. Adopt the Supplementary Housing Statement (Houses in Multiple Occupation)

2. Adopt the joint Suffolk Landlords Booklet for Houses in Multiple Occupation

3. Delegate authority to the Head of Housing, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Housing, to update the Supplementary Housing Statement (Houses in Multiple Occupation) as necessary to reflect changing information (on rental prices and availability of rental rooms, for example)

Reason for Decision

To provide guidance to enable a consistent delivery of HMO accommodation by private developers. To assist in the assessment of “exceptional circumstances” for new HMO conversions requiring planning permission.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

Do nothing – there is no requirement for either of these documents to be produced.

Produce an East Suffolk specific Guidance Document, (rather than adopt a Suffolk-wide document) – for the reasons stated above in Sections 5 and 6, this is not deemed to be appropriate.

Adopt the documents as written.

Any Declarations of Interest Declared

None

Any Dispensation Granted
