Stoke Climsland - Affordable Housing?
 

New affordable housing in Stoke Climsland – What is this? There is currently a proposal to build 16 new affordable houses in Stoke Climsland. It is just a proposal, but we are led to believe the whole Parish is behind this?

There is a small group who have made it their objective to get these houses built. They are an un-elected group who appear to speak for the village/parish! Don't let this small group become our voice when we can all have our say.

Please take the time to look around the site. Add your thoughts, (for and against) by e-mailing 'Mandy' at no@stop-it.co.uk. Please send articles, information, links, basically anything that may help others viewing this site. Don't be ruled...    Have your say.

Thanks...    Mandy

Do you think the Affordable Housing Project Management Committee would like it if the proposed development was in their backyard! Click on the image and see how close they live to the village and make up your own mind.....

The proposed Stoke Climsland Affordable Housing development area's are highlighted in yellow. Is this how we want the village to expand?

The area's in red show how once the ball starts rolling (and if little resistance is met) the village could expand even further.

What does a major local house builder think about the planning process for affordable homes:

  • Revise national planning guidelines to allow and encourage cross-subsidisation of “Exceptions” rural housing sites with some open market housing - Build lots more houses to subsidise the affordable ones! So more than 16 houses?
  • Ensure that Local Authority Chief Executives are personally accountable for affordable housing delivery in their own districts - Tie the Chief Executives hands in favour of government targets and pressure from developers.
  • Fast track applications that have high design standards and achieve at least Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3 Accreditation - "Code level 3, the minimum requirement for publicly funded homes from 2008" So they'll get the standard, fast track and bypass objectors!
  • Appoint a senior Housing Enabling Officer in each Local Authority to fast-track affordable schemes and trouble-shoot any blockages - Lets get em up lads before anyone can stop us!
  • Encourage a much greater spirit of co-operation and partnership working between local authorities and private developers - I want to build lots more houses and build where I want!

This is to the disadvantage of people who already live in a proposed development area, and a great benefit to the developer £.
