Private Sector Housing Renewal Strategy

This policy addresses:

  • Regeneration of declining communities
  • Reducing the incidence of unhealthy housing
  • The return to use of long-term empty private sector houses
  • The provision of adaptations for disabled persons
  • Enabling vulnerable persons to remain at home in safety and comfort
  • Improving standards within the private rented sector 

In July 2002 the Government, by way of a Regulatory Reform Order, introduced significant changes in relation to Private Sector Housing Renewal by repealing much of the existing legislation governing the provision of housing grants and replacing it with a new, wide-ranging power allowing local authorities the ability to provide assistance for housing renewal in any form.

The Order gave local authorities a much greater degree of flexibility in devising a strategy to deal with poor conditions within the private sector; both in terms of the policy tools available to them and their ability to work in partnership with others.  It was a condition that authorities had to produce and publish a policy explaining how the new powers would be utilized. In June 2003 the Caerphilly County Borough Council Private Sector Housing Renewal Policy was produced.

  • Revised National Home Improvement Loan Scheme and Associated Amendments to Private Sector Housing Renewal Policy - 25 July 2018 (PDF)

Our policy is subject to continuous review; the current version takes account of policy revisions and reflects a position that has come about as a result of changing needs and a reducing capital finance provision.
