Background
Exception housing schemes are provided on land in the countryside that would otherwise not be permitted for development. The homes on an exception housing scheme are allocated using the Local Allocations Agreement, which ensures the homes are prioritised for households with a local connection to the parish in which the scheme is located and the adjoining civil parishes.
Housing need in rural areas can often be hidden and not necessarily visible to the wider community or statutory authorities. An individual or household is considered to be in housing need when:
- They require separate or alternative accommodation AND
- They are unable to rent or buy housing generally available on the open market.
Affordable homes
Two tenures of affordable homes are typically provided on exception housing schemes:
- Affordable rent properties are let at rents discounted at 80% of market and generally capped at the Local Housing Allowance.
- Shared ownership allows a household to buy an equity share of their home and pay rent on the portion retained by the housing association. Broadland Housing Association will retain the freehold. Shared owners are able to purchase equity shares up to an 80% cap of property value.
A small number of market sale homes may also be required to generate cross-subsidy and make the affordable homes more financially viable.
If you have any queries, please contact Adam Ballard.
Banningham
Banningham
Following a community consultation of residents of Banningham in Norfolk, we have submitted proposals to build approximately 9 new affordable homes on Banningham Road.
Across north Norfolk local people are finding it increasingly difficult to rent or buy on the open market. Increases in property prices exceed rises in local incomes and private landlords sell off rental property or convert to holiday lets.
North Norfolk District Council‘s waiting list for Colby and Banningham includes several households with a local connection to the parish and adjoining parishes, who are not able to access suitable homes locally.
Roughton
Roughton
We have submitted a planning application for 30 new homes on Back Lane in Roughton, Norfolk.
This proposed scheme will gift land to the local community of Roughton for new community facilities and an informal sports pitch and wetland area.
The scheme will have similar house designs to those we have already built at Trunch, Binham, Bodham and Great Ryburgh. We have worked hard to ensure that our designs blend into the local community and the scheme will have open green spaces throughout.
Broadland Housing Association acquired the site with outline planning consent for 30 homes for open market sale. Once the planning application for the revised design has been approved, Broadland intends to bid for public funding to convert a percentage to affordable rent and shared ownership homes, to create a mixed tenure community.
Northrepps
Northrepps
Our new development at Northrepps has been completed, comprising of 19 operationally net zero homes after an 18-month project.
The 19 new homes were designed by architects Ingleton Wood and built by Norwich-based contractor Smith of Honingham.
Energy-Efficient Features
These new homes are designed to be highly energy-efficient, featuring insulated timber frames, triple-glazed windows, air source heat pumps, and mechanical ventilation systems with heat recovery. Solar panels on the roofs are expected to generate enough electricity to cover the average annual use of each home.
The scheme comprises of:
- 8 Affordable Rent
- 2 Shared Ownership
- 9 Open Market
