HOUSING FOR LOCAL PEOPLE
The Parish Council, in partnership with the English Rural Housing Association, is considering the provision of ten affordable homes for local people. There would be a mix of two and three bedroom homes in both rented and shared ownership. The need for such homes has been identified through surveys and in the Parish Appraisal.
After an exhaustive search, a small area of land has been identified in Warrendene Road, Hughenden Valley, as being suitable for building such homes. Draft scheme layouts and basic sketch designs have been produced, which are acceptable to Wycombe District Council planners, the Parish Council, and the landowner. It is intended that this will be a small, attractive development (see similar examples below), provided in perpetuity for the use of parishioners with a strong, provable, local connection. The Parish would have ownership of, and manage, the surrounding land; there would be no further built development.
The properties would be for the benefit of parishioners in all the villages within Hughenden Parish.
Interested parties are welcome to attend an open day, which will be held in the Parish Council Offices, The Common, Great Kingshill on 10th March 2010 between 3pm and 7.30pm to -
· View the provisional plans
· Ask questions of the Housing Association and Parish Councillors
· Make comments on the project
· and take the opportunity to register for the properties
