Report of the Strategic Director of Adult Care and Housing

 

Cabinet Member:     Councillor Beck

Commissioner:         Myers (in advisory role)

 

Recommendations:

 

1.    That approval be given to the transfer of HRA land at Elgar Drive/ Mortimer Road, Maltby to South Yorkshire Housing Association for nil value.

 

2.    That it be noted that delivery of this wholly affordable housing scheme is challenging for South Yorkshire Housing Association and they will lose money over the 35 year mortgage term. However, they are willing to honour their commitment to R.M.B.C to deliver these new homes.

 

3.    That it be noted the Council will receive “nomination rights” and the properties will be occupied by people who are on the Council’s waiting list.  This process will be managed by Keychoices.
