Housing Strategy Action Plan 2024-25

What will success look like in 2028? 

This theme will see the Authority and our partners deliver affordable homes across the borough. By 2028 we forecast to have delivered 3,300 homes through the Affordable Homes Programme and explored options to increase opportunities for people to access low-cost home ownership and support first time buyers. 

The Authority’s wholly owned trading company, Aurora Affordable Homes, will have doubled their asset base to own 200 affordable homes and will continue to be an exemplar landlord. 

Our work to deliver affordable homes will play a central part in delivering the regeneration ambitions of the borough. This will include accessing grant funding to remediate former brownfield sites and identified options to bring back empty properties into use as affordable homes. 

Key Priorities 

• Deliver 5,000 affordable new homes
• An affordability plan to increase low-cost home ownership
• Increase delivery through the North Tyneside Trading Company Identify new opportunities to accelerate housing delivery
• Work with our strategic partners to access Brownfield Funding and other grant opportunities to support the delivery of new homes
• Develop housing-led regeneration plans and focus on opportunities in our town centres
