The consultation, which would see £5 per unit charged to
all registered providers with 1,000 or more units of social housing, follows a
discussion paper in 2014 setting out initial proposals and the 2015 Spending
Review. Charging fees would enable the regulator to ensure it maintains the
capacity and capability to promote a viable, efficient and well-governed social
housing sector able to deliver homes that meet a range of needs. The proposed
fees scheme would be in line with the regulator’s powers under the Housing and
Regeneration Act 2008 and its statutory objectives. Following consultation, the
principles will have to be approved by the Secretary of State. Find details of
the Consultation on the GovUK website.
