Housing Renewal Strategy 

The Regulatory Reform Order 2002 came into force on 18 July 2002, repealing much of the legislation governing the provision of previous housing grants and replaced it with new wide ranging powers for the Isle of Wight Council to provide assistance for housing renewal significantly based on local needs and objectives.

The order offers the scope for introducing a range of new opportunities to deliver housing renewal. It will contribute a key theme to the overall Housing strategy for the Island. This not only marks a radical change in Government renewal policy, but also the first separate Housing Renewal Strategy and policy for the Isle of Wight.
This new policy is effective from 18 July 2003 and will be subject to annual review.

The Regulatory Reform Order repeals all previous grants other than Disabled Facilities Grants (DFG’s), together with the associated detailed rules, procedures and conditions. The new policy has been written in consultation with a wide range of service users and stakeholders and is based upon the likely resources available to the Housing Department for dealing with housing renewal.
