Request

I am writing to request the following recorded information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please treat this as a formal Freedom of Information request.

1. A list of all registered providers of social housing (housing associations) that own, manage or operate homes within the Rushcliffe borough — please distinguish, where held, between providers based locally and national providers that operate within the borough.

2. A list of any registered providers delivering supported or specialist housing within the borough (for example for adults with learning disabilities, autism and/or mental health needs), including the schemes or areas they operate in where held.

3. Details of any nominations, partnering or management agreements the Council holds with registered providers of social housing in the borough.

4. Any current guidance, process or named contact for a private landlord or developer wishing to make a property available for supported living or specialist supported living in the borough, and any identified unmet demand by area or client group.

If any part of this request would exceed the cost limit, please advise which part and treat the remaining parts as my request. I am happy to receive the information by email, ideally as an electronic document or spreadsheet.

Response

1. A list of all registered providers of social housing (housing associations) that own, manage or operate homes within the Rushcliffe borough — please distinguish, where held, between providers based locally and national providers that operate within the borough. 

   • This information is publicly available through the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities' published statistics on registered provider social housing stock and rents. The Council does not maintain a definitive list categorised in the manner requested.

2. A list of any registered providers delivering supported or specialist housing within the borough (for example for adults with learning disabilities, autism and/or mental health needs), including the schemes or areas they operate in where held. 

   • Information regarding registered providers operating supported or specialist housing schemes is publicly available through the national registered provider datasets referenced above. The Council does not hold a comprehensive list of registered providers operating specialist housing schemes, nor a definitive record of all schemes and client groups across the borough.

3. Details of any nominations, partnering or management agreements the Council holds with registered providers of social housing in the borough. 

   • Rushcliffe Borough Council requires registered providers wishing to participate in the Council's Choice Based Lettings scheme to enter into a Service Level Agreement (SLA). The SLA sets out the arrangements for advertising properties and the nomination rights applicable to those properties. Individual nomination arrangements are therefore governed through the relevant SLA with each participating registered provider.

4. Any current guidance, process or named contact for a private landlord or developer wishing to make a property available for supported living or specialist supported living in the borough, and any identified unmet demand by area or client group. 

   • The Council does not hold specific guidance or a dedicated contact for private landlords or developers seeking to provide supported living or specialist supported living accommodation. Responsibility for commissioning and assessing need for care and support services rests primarily with Nottinghamshire County Council. Any landlord or developer interested in delivering supported living accommodation should therefore contact Nottinghamshire County Council in the first instance to discuss requirements, commissioning arrangements and identified needs. The Council does not hold information identifying unmet demand by area or client group for supported living accommodation.
