He highlighted the challenges that the Housing Executive would meet over the coming year. He drew some comfort from the Minister for Social Development, Margaret Ritchie MLA’s statement that housing would remain her priority and that the Housing Executive would continue to be Northern Ireland’s strategic housing authority. He said that the waiting list trends for social housing showed an increase in the number of applicants registered on the waiting lists over the past five years and a decreasing number of allocations to social housing. At the end of 2007 the figure for Northern Ireland on waiting lists showed an increase of over 4,000 (11.6%) on the previous year. The waiting list for the Magherafelt District Council area had grown to almost 500. The number in housing stress had also grown. Dr McPeake advised that allocations of existing stock had been in the past the means by which the majority of housing need had been met but currently there was a dependency on the delivery of new stock. Under the Social Housing Development Programme the Housing Executive in partnership with the Housing Association movement had delivered a total of 1,595 house starts. However there was a need for 2,500 new social dwellings each year in Northern Ireland. He said that this shortfall, combined with continuing difficulties for first time buyers had added to the pressures on the waiting list for homes in the social rented sector. Dr McPeake added that the condition of Housing Executive stock was good with 75% meeting the Decent Homes Standard. 4 The Housing Executive would continue with its programme of activity to realise capital from surplus assets, but with a turbulent housing and land market this would not be easy. It would therefore be necessary to continue to seek additional funding to deliver all of their programmes. Under the Review of Public Administration Councils would be reduced from 26 to 11 larger Councils. Some housing related functions would be transferred from the Housing Executive to the new Councils – Inspection and regulation of Houses in Multiple Occupation, Unfitness inspections, Travellers transit sites, and the Housing Executive would remain the Home Energy Conservation Authority for Northern Ireland with Councils having the lead role in local initiatives. 3.3 The Area Manager, Mr S Mackie referred to this year’s District Housing Plan for the Magherafelt District (copy previously circulated to each Member). He focused on the Housing Executive’s achievements made in relation to housing condition improvements in both social and private sectors within the District. Mr Mackie highlighted the challenges faced by the Housing Executive in the coming year regarding the growing social need and affordability issues. The Council was advised that Mr Michael Dallat the local Housing Manager would be leaving the Magherafelt District Office in the near future and Mr Eddie Doherty would become the Manager for both Limavady and Magherafelt Districts from 1 September 2008. 3.4 Members’ Questions: Councillor G C Shiels referred to previous discussions regarding the potential for Latent Demand and in particular to Housing Executive owned land offered for sale by a Cookstown estate agent at the back of Alexander Park, Upperlands. He said that when he had become aware that that piece of ground had been offered fro sale, he had contacted the NIHE Land and Property Section in an effort to stop the sale. He asked how this land had come to be offered for sale. In reply, Mr Mackie said that he was not aware of the Housing Executive offering land for sale or seeking to identify latent demand in Upperlands. Councillor Shiels stated that the Housing Executive had been previously committee to undertake an assessment of latent demand in Upperlands. Mr Mackie said he would investigate the matter. Councillor J J McPeake thanked Mr Michael Conway for his work in identifying latent demand in Gulladuff. He commented that the figures for housing stress were alarming. He paid tribute to Mr Michael Dallat and his staff for their work in the District. Councillor McPeake said that there was no quick fix to the current problems but there was simply not enough housing in the District and the NIHE had been at a disadvantage then sites were offered for sale. However, he welcomed news of sites recently being acquired by the public sector. 5 Councillor Mrs E A Forde thanked Mr Dallat and the local office for their work. She requested an update in relation to a suggestion that Clanmill Housing Association had been offered the opportunity to acquire land with Planning Permission for houses in Ballyheifer. She also enquired about the current position relating to the co-ownership scheme and noted that she had been advised that 700 applicants had been asked to withdraw their application to the scheme. Dr McPeake advised that the NIHE had assumed responsibility last year for the Social Housing Development Programme. He explained that it was sometimes possible for Housing Associations to acquire “off the shelf” properties that had originally been designed for private sale. However, this could only happen if the properties conformed to NIHE standards and represented value for money. Mr Mackie said that he would check out the query in relation to the potential Clanmill development. And revert to Councillor Mrs Forde at a later date. He said that he thought that there were problems with housing mix on the proposed site which was outside the planning development area of the town and that there would appear to be two other more suitable sites in Magherafelt.

Report production: July 2009 Consultation: August 2009 SUMMARY Ponds are an important freshwater habitat that has been shown to play a key role in maintaining biodiversity at landscape level. However, ponds are also vulnerable to environmental degradation and there is evidence that, at a national level, pond quality is declining. In 2007, the biodiversity importance of ponds was recognised when high quality ponds (Priority Ponds) were added to the list of UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) Priority Habitats.
