Planned Decant in Brighton

Planned decants during refurbishment, regeneration or major improvement works require coordinated accommodation for residents while works are completed.

Brighton's coastal position and dense urban housing, including many converted Victorian properties, create specific challenges when incidents occur. The city's strong hospitality sector provides good short-term accommodation options.

Temporary Accommodation During Planned Decant

Housing associations regularly undertake planned works programmes that require residents to temporarily vacate. These include kitchen and bathroom replacements, structural improvements, energy efficiency upgrades and full estate regeneration. Accommodation planning aligns with works schedules.

Key Challenges

Large-scale planned decants require careful coordination to ensure accommodation is available as each phase of works begins. Multi-block programmes may run over several months with residents moving in and out of temporary accommodation.

Typical duration: 2 weeks to 6 months per phase
