APPENDIX 1

HOUSING, REGENERATION AND PLANNING PORTFOLIO PLAN

Version: September 2019 Cllr Morgan, Portfolio Holder Renewal, Recreation and Housing Sara Bowrey, Director of Housing, Regeneration and Planning

The Housing, Regeneration and Planning department’s work is delivered by four divisions:  Housing  Planning  Culture and Regeneration  Strategic Property

These divisions manage both community services, such as the libraries contract, and projects, such as housing schemes.

The priorities of the department are to: 1. Support the economic development of town centres. 2. Protect, conserve and regenerate the borough’s built and natural environment. 3. Support wellbeing, particularly through culture and leisure. 4. Ensure residents have access to affordable, decent and secure homes.

These priorities align with Council’s ‘Building a Better Bromley’ guiding principles.

This is a living rolling document, rather than being tied to a financial year, which allows new services and projects to be added as and when they are agreed by Members. This approach means that it will be consistently up to date for regular scrutiny by the Renewal, Recreation and Housing Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee. APPENDIX 1
