Private sector housing strategy 2022-2027

About the strategy

These are the key challenges for the Private Sector Housing team in Darlington.

It includes things we are going at the moment and things we will be doing. This will make sure living conditions continue to get better.

This strategy includes our housing vision:

“We aim to increase healthy home environments that maximises well-being and life opportunities for all residents and future residents in Darlington.”

National and local perspectives

Nationally, the private rented sector is the fastest-growing housing tenure type.

The sector has more than doubled in size over the last 15 years.

It now accounts for almost one-fifth of all dwellings in the UK.

We welcome the increasing contribution rented properties can make to meet local housing needs.

Standards need to reflect those expected in Darlington.

We need to manage these standards to make sure homes are fit for a future housing market.

Around 80 percent of Darlington’s 51,885 homes are in the private sector.

This equates to 43,589 dwellings.

This includes around 8,875 properties rented from a private landlord.

The strategy incorporates an action plan.

The plan will create the conditions for successful delivery of the strategy, including:

  • Supporting the most vulnerable.
  • Encouraging the transition to Net Zero.
  • Addressing health inequalities.
  • Communicating the progress and outcomes of our work to residents, partners, and stakeholders.
  • Understanding resource requirements and developing plans.
  • We will improve information and evidence held about the private rented sector to make sure our approach targets areas where it will be the most effective.
  • Adapting and growing the capabilities of the Private Sector Housing Team.

Aims

We have three key aims to help us to achieve our private sector housing ambition:
