Environment & Housing Delivery Partnership

The overall aim of the Environment & Housing Delivery Partnership (EHDP) is to coordinate the delivery of the Housing and Environment elements of the Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) and consequent Local Area Agreement (LAA) targets and that the work of all partners in the City is these respects are aligned.

The objectives of the Partnership will be to deliver this aim by:-

  • Ensuring that the Sustainable Community Strategy fully reflects the contribution of environmental and housing issues;
  • Developing and monitoring indicators relating to housing and environmental issues and the targets related to them included in the Local Area Agreement;
  • Enabling the contribution of other Newcastle Partnership partnership boards, where a joint approach with the EHDP will contribute to the effective delivery of Sustainable Community Strategy objectives.

The role of the partnership will be:

  • To influence, monitor and review SCS outcomes and LAA targets on Housing and Environmental matters;
  • To develop a work programme that will deliver the above through the co-ordination of task groups related to the Housing and Environment themes;
  • To direct and co-ordinate the work of these theme groups;
  • To interface with the Delivery Board of the LSP on Housing and Environment issues.
