Empty properties

We are committed to bringing long term empty homes back into use. The Strategy aims to raise the awareness of the issue of empty homes and to provide good quality additional affordable houses by making full use of existing housing.  It also aims to minimise the adverse impact that an empty house can have and to prevent nuisance to neighbours and the local community.

A copy of the Strategy can be viewed at the Council Offices, or alternatively, you can view a pdf icon Summary of the Strategy.
