This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor John Letford:- "Council believes that housing has a role in supporting local communities. Council recognises that communities wish to co-create their housing using a range of legal and financial structures which enable different tenure types including rental and mutual homeownership options. Council values social housing but notes that policy should not be focused solely on this and there is a need to explore more diverse ways of building homes and improving the tenure mix. Council notes that Cohousing is more common in other parts of Europe, where legislation has been adapted to support its development, and there is much Scotland can learn from our neighbours. Council notes that many countries consider that there are many benefits associated with co-housing, eg for older people, including security and mutual support among peers, autonomy, people retaining control over their own circumstances, companionship instead of isolation, a sense of belonging, community and commitment and affordability through shared costs. Council notes that the Community Empowerment Act, and the national and local Social Enterprise Strategy, make the opportunities for Cohousing more fruitful. Council makes a commitment to learn from and work with partners to do so. Council instructs the CEO to build upon the Architecture and Design Scotland hosted "Making Cohousing Happen" event which took place in Glasgow City Chambers in late 2016 and agrees to refer community led Cohousing solutions to the Committee for Neighbourhoods, Housing and Public Realm.".
