Decision:

Approval to apply for £800,000 grant from Homes England to deliver social rented and shared ownership housing in Ripon and Bedale.


Reasons for the decision:

Applying for Homes England grant will allow the council to deliver additional social rented and Shared Ownership housing within the HRA in a locality where there is high housing needs and a current undersupply of social rented housing.

Alternative options considered:

Not applying for the grant offer would see the council miss out on the opportunity to deliver an additional 10 affordable homes in a high demand area. This option was rejected.
