Rural and Islands Housing Action Plan: Equalities Impact Assessment (EQIA): Results

The Scope of the EQIA

In the development of the Action Plan, we engaged extensively with representatives of remote, rural and island communities to gather evidence on the housing issues and concerns faced by those communities.

The Action Plan aim to support and strengthen current policies and practices to deliver more affordable housing in remote, rural and island areas and address the barriers faced by those communities. It does not directly introduce new legislation and any legislation or regulation coming from actions will undertake a separate EQIA at the appropriate stage of policy development.
