Woke up this morning to see that Brock had paid our front lawn a visit during the night. Lovely. (not) Wonder how many badger sets there are out DA2 way? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2805851/Forget-moles-meet-new-threat-lawn-Indian-summer-led-surge-badgers-digging-gardens-search-favourite-food-juicy-worms-stop-ruining-lawn.html
How to afford care in a er.......care home? Simples. By selling your owner occupied home.
Well, given as the care home is to be part of the 25% affordable housing requirement to be honest I'm amazed that we have had only the two planning applications with it in their plans . After all, a care home will go upwards I imagine. Therefore it will not take up as big a footprint as affordable homes of the two storey variety. Therefore if a developer can get the planning permission ...
Check out the quarter page advert on page 6 of today's Dawlish Gazette. Planning ref 15/02700/MAJ http://gis.teignbridge.gov.uk/TeignbridgePlanningOnline/Results.aspx?Type=Application&Refval=15/02700/MAJ
I've already referred to this on the North West of Secmaton Lane thread but I thought this Bill and what is in it is so important in terms of how it may affect what type of housing is produced and where in Dawlish that I'd start a separate thread. Measures include: New affordable Starter Homes – a new legal duty will be placed on councils to guarantee the provision of 200,000 Starter ...
Deadline Friday 12 noon to be precise. And suggest you submit day before at latest if poss as I've been caught out before (albeit not with TDC) in terms of these deadlines. It is not that you should send your submission before 12 noon on Friday but that TDC should receive it by 12 noon on Friday. The two are not the same. TDC will not necessarily receive your submission within nanoseconds of ...
So what happened to localism then? I thought local authorities were the ones who were given the right to decide how many homes were needed and over how long a period and what type of homes (% of private homes to affordable homes and then within the affordable home category what % affordable rent and what % affordable to buy eg shared ownership). Seems call me Dave is moving the goal posts ...
I've got a feeling that 'call me Dave' and his recently announced Conservative Party policies (see above) may just have driven a coach and horses right through TDC's Affordable Homes policy. This is TDC policy; "the requirement for the affordable housing, as specified in Local Plan policy WE2 will be broken down to provide a tenure split of 75% affordable rented homes and 25% intermediate ...
And is my memory playing tricks on me or am I correct in thinking that back in 2011 when all this need for new housing in Dawlish argument kicked off, wasn’t it the case that we were told that it would only be by having such open market owner occupier housing that the desperate need for affordable rented housing in Dawlish could be met. Thought so.
Affordable housing. There are issues brewing here. Central government saying no more below market rents, extension of right to buy to housing association tenants and emphasis on home ownership. How will this (and more?) impact on those needing affordable rented housing in Dawlish? From this week's Inside Housing: "David Cameron on Wednesday announced councils will no longer be able to ...
