  • 1. Affordable Housing – Policy LP25
    Huntingdonshire Local Plan to 2036 Examination Hearing Statement Matter 13: Strengthening communities Huntingdonshire District Council July 2018 Issue Whether the Local Plan is justified, effective and consistent with national policy in relation to the approach towards strengthening communities. 1. Affordable housing – Policy LP25 Question 1: What is the evidence in relation to the need for affordable housing? What does this show? 1.1. The Huntingdonshire Objectively Assessed Housing Need report April 2017 (HOUS/01) identified that the overall housing figure that has been identified is 20,100. 1.2. The total need for affordable housing over the plan period is 7,897 new homes. Therefore the required number of affordable homes is 39% of the overall housing figure (HOUS/01). 1.3. The affordable housing need was calculated by adding together the current unmet housing need and the projected future housing need and then subtracting from this the current supply of affordable housing stock (HOUS/01, section 4.5, pages 30-33) . Question 2: What are the trends in delivery of affordable housing and how has it been delivered? How is this likely to change in future? 1.4. The Council transferred its housing stock to a Registered Provider (Luminus Group) in 2000. Since this time the vast majority of new affordable housing in the district has been provided by Registered Providers. 1.5. Since 2008/09 the annual rate of affordable housing delivery has been sporadic peaking at 367 new affordable homes delivered during 2010/11 and falling to 41 new completions during 2013/14. 1.6. The vast majority of new affordable housing built in recent years has been on allocated sites where a S106 agreement has required the provision of affordable dwellings.

  • Abbots Ripton Minutes Annual Parish Meeting 4Th
    Abbots Ripton Parish Council ANNUAL PARISH MEETING 16/05/2021 Minutes Present: Cllr G Richardson (Chairman), Cllr J Leaver (Vice Chairman), Cllr S Brown, Cllr J Hemsley, Cllr D Brennan, Headteacher of Abbots Ripton Primary School, Revd Mandy Flaherty, Matthew Fido (Village Hall) Emily Moore – Clerk and Responsible Financial Officer to Abbots Ripton Parish Council. 1. Report from Abbots Ripton Primary School The following report was received from Abbots Ripton Primary School: Pupils - We currently have 102 pupils on roll at school, split into 4 classes. Number on Roll Van Gough Class Monet Class Kandinsky Class Picasso Class 102 17 Reception 28 26 31 Yr1x11 Yr3x17 Yr5x15 Yr2x17 Yr4x9 Yr6x16 The vast majority of our children (72% which is 73 out of 102) travel to us from outside of our catchment area. It is vital therefore that we continue to appeal to families outside of our catchment area if we are to remain a viable school. In Year 6 we feed to a vast number of secondary schools; St Peters is our natural feeder school as our catchment children would go there but with so many out of catchment children we feed to most local secondary schools. Our 16 current Year 6 children for example will be moving on to 6 different schools. Staffing We employ 17 members of staff; 7 teachers (some are part time and 1 is currently on maternity leave), 5 members of teaching support staff and 5 other support staff including office and catering staff and a cleaner. Unlike most schools, we do not have a caretaker.
