The Chief Planner advises that Scottish Ministers attach importance to increasing delivery of high quality housing developments. New build PRS has the potential to become an additional route to quickly expand housing supply, helping to provide people with flexible housing options. The Scottish Government is accordingly working to encourage a thriving new build PRS, which provides good quality, well-managed homes that are constructed to the highest energy standards.
As part of this commitment, funding has been provided to the home building industry body Homes for Scotland to enable the appointment of a PRS Champion from whom further information is available.
