Decision details

Received a report outlining the background and reasons for a panel of preferred Registered Social Landlord (RSL) partners.  The report set out the criteria for the selection and brought forward proposals on which RSL’s should comprise the panel.  The report also indicated how the strengths of the RSL partners would be matched to the many varying development and regeneration opportunities.

Agreed, in order to enhance the delivery of affordable homes through the assembly of a panel of RSL’s to provide high quality and efficient development and management services, that:

1. Anglia Housing Group (Stort Valley Housing Association), East Thames Housing Group, Metropolitan and Ujima be appointed to the Council’s panel of RSL preferred partners;

2. Further enquiries be made of London & Quadrant Housing Trust and Presentation Housing Association with a view to adding these to the RSL panel; and

3. A review of the performance of RSL partners and consideration of new applications to join the panel be held on an annual basis.
