Tackling empty homes improves neighbourhoods, reduces nuisance, vandalism and anti-social behaviour and can improve the health and wellbeing of communities. Bringing empty homes back into use helps make best use of our housing stock and improve housing conditions.  Our strategy sets out how we will work with empty home owners to bring properties back into use and outlines what enforcement we can use if the owners don’t engage and the property is causing a nuisance to neighbours.
