However, despite the work to increase the number of homes available across the borough, the Council appreciates that demand for certain types or sizes of property can exceed availability.
Lots of people want to move into the area and we also know that existing residents often want to stay local when looking for a new home.
The Council is working closely with Registered Providers, landlords and developers to address this issue and come up with solutions to ensure the housing offer meets current and future demand.
