Shapps Consults on Draft Directions to Regulator

Grant Shapps has launched draft directions to the social housing regulator about the content of regulatory standards. These are much longer and more detailed than those issued under the last government following passage of the Housing and Regeneration 2008 Act, which they would replace. The draft directions cover:
*Tenure reform
*Tenant involvement
*Mutual exchange
*Affordable rent
*Decent Homes
The consultation runs until 29 September. The Tenant Services Authority intends to consult later in 2011 on the changes to its standards that will arise from the new directions. Download a copy of the consultation paper from the CLG website.
