(3) That it is agreed that refurbishment works to those properties that have already been surveyed are phased over the financial years 2013/14 and 2014/15.
(4) That it is agreed that a review of the Brighton & Hove Standard will be started in 2012/13 for implementation after the planned achievement of decency in December 2013.
