Affordable Housing in Eaton Bray

July 24, 2013 by Eaton Bray Parish Council in forum Eaton Bray Parish Council

#1782 Eaton Bray Parish Council, 24 July 2013, 14:12

Suggestions for land for development of affordable housing were put forward by the Grand Union Housing Group at the July 2013 Parish Council meeting.

A copy of the proposed locations are shown below.

The council would like to gauge residents opinions on these sites, however it is important to note that the Parish Council is not endorsing these locations they are just recommended sites put forwarded by Grand Union and no decision as yet has been made.

Please email/write to the Parish Clerk (contact details on the Eaton Bray Parish Council website) with your comments by end October 2013.

I was at the meeting when this was mentioned.
It was also said that although the proposed sites were privately owned they were all ex council land and CBC retained a 99 year uplift on the land.
Can you explain what a 99 year uplift means to CBC please.

Uplift

The basic idea being that if you obtain planning permission on a piece of undeveloped land over a period of y  years the  person who has sold the plot to you is entitled to x% of the increase in value of the land.

This is downloaded from internet, and an issue we were aware of, but without checking paperwork can not confirm number of years, another good reason not to sell!!
