The Cave Review of Social Housing Regulation

The Cave Review of Social Housing Regulation (logo)The Cave Review of the Regulation of Social Housing was announced on 14 December 2006. See Communities and Local Government News Release, Social housing regulation to be reviewed.

This independent review was commissioned by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government and led by Professor Martin Cave, Director of the Centre for Management under Regulation at Warwick University.

The review was asked to look at how the regulatory system for social housing could be reformed to better support tenants and drive up standards of housing provision, reduce burdens on social housing providers and to reflect current and future Government priorities. It considered the range of options available for the regulation of social housing activities.

Professor Cave published his report, Every Tenant Matters: A review of social housing regulation which contains his recommendations to Ministers, on 19 June 2007.

Professor Cave's recommendations were also included in chapter seven of  the consultation, Delivering Housing and Regeneration: Communities England and the future of social housing regulation which ran until Monday 10 September 2007.

These recommendations are now being taken forward in the Housing and Regeneration Bill, which was introduced in Parliament in November 2007.
