Housing Strategy

Housing Strategy 2025 - 2030

The purpose of the Housing Strategy is to provide a high-level overview of housing and housing related services across the Borough and the Council's strategic housing role; the national and local housing context, emerging priorities and activity as expressed in the Delivery Plan.

Three emerging priorities are identified within the strategy  

Priority 1: Increase supply of quality homes and affordable housing.

Priority 2: Homes positively contribute to the health, well-being and independence of residents.

Priority 3: Address the sustainability and zero-carbon challenges in new and existing housing.

Home Options policy

Derbyshire Dales District Council, High Peak Borough Council, Amber Valley Borough Council and Erewash Borough Council have established a partnership called Home-Options.

This will deliver greater choice to all those seeking housing and to enable people to make well-informed decisions about their housing options. This policy document sets out the priorities and procedures for accessing affordable housing under Home-Options.

Empty Property Strategy

Empty homes occur for a variety of reasons. Some are empty for short periods of time and tend to come back into use relatively quickly; others may be empty for a significant period of time and are not likely to come back into use until the underlying reason for the vacancy is addressed.

Our strategy sets out how the Alliance will effectively and proactively address empty properties.
