The Housing Delivery Team’s key responsibility is managing and monitoring the delivery of housing in Aylesbury Vale, and mapping it against longer term requirements.

Through regular monitoring it is possible to identify and seek  measures to resolve potential blockages in delivery.  The team also helps to identify current and future projected trends in housing and also assists with the planning and implementation of infrastructure to support the growth within Aylesbury.

Shortly after the coalition Government was formed following the general election of May 2010, it was announced that regionally set housing targets were being abolished. Aylesbury Vale District Council is currently reviewing the number of new homes it thinks it will need.

In addition to focusing on the supply of housing, the issue of quality is important and there are established links with The Building Research Establishment (BRE) to ensure that quality standards are achieved  in line with the Government’s policy on climate change and sustainable construction.
