Call For Sites
Published - 22 September 2023

The Affordable Housing Working Group (AHG) was formed in October 2022 on the initiative of the Landford Parish Council. It comprises 5 Councillors and 4 volunteers from the community and reports to the full Council. The purpose of the AHG is to investigate the feasibility of providing up to a maximum of 10 Affordable Houses / units within the Parish. The intention would be to provide appropriate and affordable accommodation for members of the Parish, under strict criteria of need. Whilst there are no guarantees that such accommodation would be developed part of the process is to identify potential sites, and we welcome submissions from landowners. There is no guarantee that any offered submission will be developed.

The AHG is looking for a potential site(s) within the Parish on which it could deliver such affordable housing and to this end it has initiated a ‘Call For Sites’. If you are a property / land owner willing to have your property land considered as a potential site(s) for Affordable Housing (ONLY) you are invited to complete and submit the Call For Sites form. No other development will be considered. 

The AHG would also consider an existing property(ies) that could be converted/developed ie. a larger property. This might include property for which the owner does not recognise the possibility that their land could be exactly what the Parish needs. The study will identify potential sites, the sites’ potential capacity and any constraints that may exist. It will also identify the actions that may be needed to be taken to make sites available, suitable and viable for development. If a site is identified as having potential it will be submitted on the basis of consideration for planning approval only. 

The deadline for submission of the ‘Call For Sites’ is All submissions must be sent in before 17:00 on 10th November 2023 after which all submissions will be carefully considered for suitability etc. Applicants for consideration would be invited to meet the AHG, and NFNPA and WCC officers to discuss the site(s) in more detail. In addition a survey of Parishioners is to be carried out to ascertain the views and needs of the Parish and there will be an Open Evening to allow Parishioners to ask questions of the AHG. The results of previous surveys will also be considered closely.
