Appendix A
 
  A3  HOUSING SITES
   
 

This appendix lists all housing sites of more than 10 units completed/committed between 1.1.88 and 31.12.96, and those proposed in the UDP.

 

Notes:

 

Fully completed sites:  Tables marked ‘A’ list sites of more than 10 units, fully completed between 1.1.88 and 31.12.96 (including sites started before 1988: only plots completed since 1.1.88 are included).

 

Commitments:  Tables marked ‘B’ list sites of more than 10 units available in planning terms, i.e. with outline/full or (in Washington New Town) Section 7.1/ 7.2 permission granted between 1.1.88 and 31.12.96, or under construction at 31.12.96.  These sites are protected under Policy H11 and are shown on the Proposals Map.

 

Proposed sites:  Tables marked ‘C’ list sites proposed in Policies SA9, NA7, WA4, HA4, and corresponding policies in the insets.  They may include sites which have received planning permission since 31.12.96.

 

Restructuring schemes:  Tables marked ‘D’ list those areas of Council housing programmed for restructuring where it is likely that a substantial element of new-build will be incorporated.  Until detailed plans are drawn up, it is not always possible to quantify the amount of new-build housing to be provided.  New-build within restructuring schemes is regarded as the replacement of existing housing; it is therefore not included in the calculations set out in Table 5.4 and Policy H3.

 

HLA Ref.:  This column provides a cross-reference to the Housing Land Availability Register, published half-yearly by the City Council.

 

Gross area (ha.):  The gross hectarage is the total area within the site boundary, including roads, footpaths, landscaping and incidental open space.

 

Dwelling capacity/ Dwellings completed:  Site capacities and numbers of dwellings completed are as at 31.12.96.  For proposed sites, capacities are estimated, generally on the basis of the densities achieved in recent years for similar sites and locations.

 

Ownership:  The base-date for this information is 31.12.96.

  Housing policy requirements:  These are included in Proposals SA9, NA7, WA4 and HA4.  Each site has a selection from the following range, appropriate to the size and location of the site.  The full policies may be found in Chapters 3, 5, 9 and 10.

Information taken from a range of mortgage advisors in the City at November 1996 and based upon current net interest rate of 6.0095%, tax relief on the first £30,000, and a maximum repayment period of 25 years.

 

Applications are assessed on an individual basis, but certain regulations apply:

 
  • Applicants must have a permanent contract of employment/salary.
  • Mortgage loan eligibility is not based upon a minimum income requirement but on “income multipliers”   (eg for single people=3x gross annual salary; for couples=2x joint gross annual salary, or 3x higher salary plus 1x lower, or 3x joint income in some circumstances)
