Non-Decency
Councils are currently discussing housing stock condition and preparedness for inspections, which relate to homes failing the Decent Homes Standard.
Redbridge Council's Housing Committee discussed housing services and preparedness for inspections in June 2026. Lewisham Council's Housing Select Committee also reviewed major works and stock condition in March 2026, which are key factors in homes failing to meet the Decent Homes Standard.
Tower Hamlets Council began implementing an improvement plan in August 2025, following a C3 grading from the Regulator of Social Housing. This grading indicated the council did not meet consumer standards, particularly in non-decency, with a rate of 20% at the time.
The council's Housing Management Cabinet Sub-Committee addressed the Regulator's findings in July 2025, after the council self-referred in October 2024. No upcoming meetings are currently scheduled to discuss non-decency.
