There was evidenced demand for bungalows in this location and resources were available in the strategic acquisitions budget to purchase them as part of an ongoing programme of acquisitions of new Council homes to replace properties sold under the Right to Buy and to maintain stock levels.

Resolved:-  That the purchase of six bungalows at Penny Piece Lane from Duchy Homes using the Housing Revenue Account Strategic Acquisitions budget be approved.
