This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
Whilst this decision was published on the Key Decision Schedule with 28 days’ notice to the upcoming Cabinet meeting on the 20 February 2025. The nature of the matter in respect of this decision is to be made has since been updated to include the following:

This decision could not be reasonably deferred because delaying the decision would have a negative impact the Council’s ability to proceed with it's purchases of homes and utilise the temporary flexibility from government, we have with Right To Buy receipts. This flexibility will end in March 2026. Accelerating the purchase of homes will also enable the Council to reduce the significant cost pressure currently faced in providing Temporary accommodation, waiting until March for a decision would delay the implementation of this decision.

The Chair of Overview and Scrutiny Committee has been notified of this update and that the report will be considered at the 20 February 2025 Cabinet meeting.
