  • Shared Ownership – Sales, Re-Sales and Allocations Policy
    Shared Ownership – Sales, Re-sales and Allocations Policy 1. Introduction This policy outlines Uppingham Homes Community Land Trust (UHCLT) approach to the sale and allocation of shared ownership homes. Shared Ownership provides a solution to the housing needs of those who would otherwise not be eligible for social housing nor be able to buy on the open market. Such households often work in sectors where incomes have not kept pace with increases in house prices. Our focus is on young people classed as being under the age of 35 with a local connection (residence, family or employment) to the Rutland parishes of Preston, Wing, Glaston, Bisbrooke, Seaton, Lyddington, Thorpe By Water, Caldecott, Stoke Dry, Belton, Wardley, Ridlington, Ayston and Uppingham. This policy supports UHCLT obligations relating to sales allocations in accordance with the Homes England Capital Funding Guide. 2. Aims • To establish a sales process that is non-discriminatory and responsive to demand, while contributing to the need to be inclusive and ensure sustainable communities. • To establish an efficient, transparent, fair and effectively controlled basis for the acceptance and processing of applications for low cost home ownership. • To provide a system of prioritising applicants ensuring that homes are allocated to people in housing need and to those whom shared ownership is an appropriate solution. • To ensure UHCLT meets its social objectives whilst recognising the financial importance of selling properties promptly. Shared Ownership Sales, Re-sales and Allocations Policy March 2020 • To ensure that UHCLT complies with all financial and regulatory controls including those set out in the Homes England Capital Funding Guide.

  • 2018 12 18 Item 7 Paper 4 Roads & Transport
    Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan Review Paper 4: Roads and Transport Introduction In the earlier report (May 2018) two recommendations were made on roads and transport. - Request RCC to undertake traffic studies to inform transport policies, in the NP and for the Local Transport Plan), including potential longer-term routes around sections of the town. - Request RCC and the LEP to fund/undertake a feasibility study for a new means of exit for the Station Road industrial estate. These have been pursued but it has not been possible to obtain commitment at this stage. Understandably, RCC will need to consider the matters through a due process and may be willing to become formally engaged once the NP review is underway. In addition, as described in other papers, the LEP (Greater Cambridge and Peterborough) has become “The Business Board of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority” with a focus on the Cambridge-Milton Keynes-Oxford Corridor proposals. When the picture is clearer on the future LEP alignment of Rutland, the issue of Station Road can be promoted. However, to support the case that can be put to RCC and the LEP, this paper includes a review of the context (based on policy documents and studies) and current data (see Paper 1) and reference to the outcome of discussions with local businesses (See Paper 3). In addition, an informal discussion has been held with RCC Highways Officers. Main Conclusions 1 - The potential Ayston Road to Leicester Road is supported by the findings of the 2010 Strategic Transport Assessment/Feasibility Study and it could be facilitated by development in the preferred locations West and North of Uppingham, referred to in the emerging Local Plan.

Although situated just outside the Parish boundary, Bringhurst Primary School was included in the designated area of the Neighbourhood Plan. This reflected the importance to the community of the local School and was endorsed by Bringhurst, Drayton & Nevill Holt Parish Meeting. The Great Easton Neighbourhood Plan Advisory Committee was established to prepare a Plan that would deliver the long term goals of a balanced and vibrant neighbourhood. Since becoming established, we have held many public meetings, both general open events and specific discussions with groups of, for example, school children and older people; prepared a village questionnaire to seek the views of local residents and other stakeholders (including landowners), groups and businesses who share an interest in Great Easton.
