Maidstone Borough Council, parish council and Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) elections will take place on Thursday 2 May 2024. Further information can be found on our elections pages.
The Housing Manager introduced
the report and outlined the works that had been undertaken on the
property to date and the design scheme proposed.
The additional dwellings
proposed would be leased at market rents. The rental income
generated from the properties and the increased cost of the scheme
were outlined.
It was noted that the
installation of a lift was not required by Building Regulations nor
was it technically possible to provide. Further funding could be
secured from Homes England to assist in the proposed development,
however the proposal was to move forward with the development
regardless.
The Committee felt that the
design scheme should be presented to the Communities, Housing and
Environment Committee to fully consider the Housing Policy impact
before a decision was made.
RESOLVED:That consideration of the item be deferred, to allow the design
scheme to be presented to the Communities, Housing and Environment
Committee to fully consider the impact on Housing Policy before a
decision was made.
