Cardiff Council has approved plans for a housing partnership which could pave the way for more than 1,000 new homes in the city. The council is already involved in a housing partnership programme with Wates Living called Cardiff Living.
It is hoped that by setting up a new housing partnership programme, more homes can be built more quickly. There are currently more than 8,000 people on Cardiff Council's housing waiting list and 1,400 homeless families and individuals in temporary accommodation.
The approval of the new housing partnership programme by the council's cabinet on Thursday, November 17, could see 1,700 new homes built. Cardiff Council officer Dave Jaques explained that by having a housing partnership, the council would be able to reduce the amount of time it takes for construction to start after planning approval is given.
