Housing Revenue Account Business Plan

The government requires all local authorities that own council housing to produce a Housing Revenue Account (HRA) Business Plan (pdf 7889KB). The purpose of the plan is to outline major issues facing the housing authority, setting these against a clear assessment of the likely level of resources available to resolve them.

It takes into account current service operation, demand for social housing, the current condition of stock and future options for funding – over the short (1-3 years), medium (1-10 years), and long (10-30 years) term.

This business plan, which should be read alongside the council's Housing Strategy (pdf 4702KB) for the same period, is an update of the previous plan covering the period 2002–2 007.
