Housing policies and strategies

Selby housing strategy

We want to enable more new homes and for all housing to be of a quality, type and size which meets the needs of our urban, rural and coastal communities and supports economic growth.

To deliver this, we're a member of the York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Strategic Housing Partnership. We've been involved in the development of a joint Housing Strategy (pdf / 2 MB) which sets out the priorities for housing growth and delivery from 2015 to 2021. Specifically for our district, we've developed a Selby Action Plan (pdf / 329 KB).

The strategy's key priorities

Work with partners to increase the supply of good quality new housing across all tenures and locations (in line with Local Plans/site allocations)
Ensure our housing stock reflects the needs of urban, rural and coastal communities
Ensure our housing stock meets the diverse needs of our population at all stages of their lives
Via policy guidance and negotiation, ensure new homes are of good design and environmental quality regardless of tenure
Continue to make best use of our existing stock and ensure it's of a decent quality to meet the needs of our communities
Ensure all homes have a positive impact on health and well being and are affordable to run
Continue to reduce homelessness
Ensure housing is allocated fairly and on the basis of need
Provide appropriate housing and support
