Housing strategies and policies

Our vision for housing in West Lindsey is for a district where “Everyone has access to good quality housing which meets their housing need and aspiration in a pleasing environment which enables a healthy lifestyle”

The Homelessness Bill requires local authorities to develop long term plans to prevent and tackle homelessness in a strategic way

The council aims to make sure that all citizens of West Lindsey have a home that is safe, secure, dry and not overcrowded.

The council is under a statutory duty to to carry out a periodic inspection of dwellings within its district.

The Housing Growth Strategy sets out the housing issues and challenges facing Central Lincolnshire.

The key aim of the Tenancy Strategy is to make the best use of the social housing stock in order to provide homes for those households who are unable to meet their own housing needs within West Lindsey.

We are committed to enabling applicants to play an active role in choosing where they live, whilst continuing to accommodate those in the greatest housing need in the district.
