Affordable Housing in Stoney Middleton

2.49.00pm GMT Thu 10th Sep 2009

The parish councillors have for some time been involved in various conversations regarding affordable housing in the village.

We are in support of providing new homes at affordable prices, these would be available on as shared ownership or rented basis. Properties could range from single bed flats to family homes.

These homes would be available to persons with a "provable need" for this type of affordable housing. It is not necessary for the person to be living in the village, in fact they may have moved away several years ago, they may have a job locally or perhaps need to be closer to a relative

Please read the following list of requirements:

(i) a person (and his or her dependants) who has a minimum period of 10 years' permanent residence in the parish or an adjoining parish and is currently living in accommodation which is overcrowded or otherwise unsatisfactory;

or

(ii) a person (and his or her dependants) who has a minimum period of 10 years permanent residence in the parish or an adjoining parish and is forming a household for the first time;

or

(iii) a person not now resident in the parish but with a proven need and a strong local connection with the parish, including a period of residence of 10 years or more within the last 20 years;

or

(iv) a person who has an essential need to live close to another person who has a minimum of 10 years' residence in the parish, the essential need arising from age or infirmity;

If you think you qualify for an affordable home or you know someone else who may qualify please fill in and return the enclosed form to Stoney Middleton Parish Council at The Barn, High Street, Stoney Middleton, Hope Valley, Derbyshire S32 4Tl. we will then arrange for someone to contact you.

Yours sincerely
