The Mayor has published Better Homes for Local People, following extensive consultation on the draft Good Practice Guide to Estate Regeneration. The final version of the guide sets out the Mayor’s expectations for how local authorities and housing associations should engage with residents as part of estate regeneration schemes, as well as outlining his three Better Homes for Local People principles:
- an increase in affordable housing
- full rights to return or remain for social tenants
- a fair deal for leaseholders and freeholders
- In addition, the guide sets out how the Mayor intends to ensure these principals are implemented using his planning and funding powers. This includes outlining his support for the principle of requiring resident ballots in estate regeneration schemes which involve the demolition of existing homes.
