Draft Somerset Strategic Housing Framework and
Consultation Questionnaire
The Somerset Strategic Housing Framework 2018 - 2022 has
a vision that seeks to achieve the following:
- Strong and effective strategic Leadership
- A local Economy that provides opportunity for all
- Homes in Somerset that are good for your Health
- A Society that supports the vulnerable
It is proposed that the Vision will be delivered by a range of
supporting Priorities and Ambitions.
To support the review of the Framework, each Somerset district
and the County Council have produced Housing Market Profiles to
highlight key issues, achievements, opportunities and
challenges.
