Quite agree, but when any elected officials decide that 'people want to buy houses' and that is the ambition of everyone, they get to kick that can down the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use affordable housing as a term to get around saying it’s social housing, as let’s be honest, there isn’t many people who would be that keen on spending £500k on a new build to find next door are paying about £400 a month rent for a house. It’s also clear that it’s social housing/council houses/ housing Associations as you can’t actually buy any of these “affordable homes” can you.

Yep, I wasn't very clear - Social Housing can be provided by a HA as well as the council. The rent is linked to average incomes in the area, rather than somebody's personal income. 4 minutes ago, Wedontplayinblue said: New estates need to have social housing/council houses/housing Associations, however you want to use the term.

Ashtongreight Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Affordable houses are on the developers initial plans in order to gain approval, they are often either dropped altogether later on, or their numbers greatly reduced, as they cut into the developers profit margins. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Affordable housing covers a multitude of housing tenures, ranging from part- ownership to pure social housing. Can remember an edict that the design of developments should be ‘tenure-blind’ but we always used to note that, once built, you could always tell the social housing from the rest by proliferation of satellite dishes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hxj Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) On 17/10/2023 at 08:25, Port Said Red said: People from all walks of life will be looking to get a house there, including a few on this forum no doubt. Never intended to imply that the only purchasers would be 'middle class snoops' - more than happy to accept that you don't have to be middle class to be a snoop and not all middle class people are snoops. My recent experience of 'affordable housing' is that the four two bedroom units were acquired by two single junior doctors, a single police sergeant (graduate entrant) and a single mechanical engineer with a Masters. More about how much their parents could lend as a deposit than the true need for 'affordable housing'. This was in an area where the house prices are significantly less than Bristol. So I wish everyone luck in their application. Edited October 20, 2023 by Hxj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware of a local development (to me) where a 'heritage railway' sold off land for housing development. Within 24 hours of moving in three new occupants tried to get the railway closed down for the reasons stated, despite the contracts they entered into when purchasing their house, and the railway operating entirely legally,. Apparently buying a house with a 'seriously asthmatic 2 year old' next to a steam railway was the fault of the railway not the purchaser.

Full nelson Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Is it me or does our new stadium, from the outside look grubby? I was working down there yesterday and noticed that all frame work is either rusty or covered in green grim and dirt and even inside the roof supports could do with a touch up. Also I hear that the sporting qtr seems to be going to the courts, I guess this means another 2 year delay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if that might be related to our owner's general lack of enthusiasm for the club. I must agree with you that the ground in places especially the Atyeo is beginning to look a little careworn.

On a random tangent, many years ago I can remember the club ran a scheme where we had our names put on our seats with one of our season ticket renewals, I had my name on a seat in the Atyeo, I wondered if they were still there - perhaps a question for @JerrySLO?
