New Housing Developments

One of our roles as a local housing authority is to ensure an adequate supply of housing that local people can afford to buy or rent. We negotiate to provide a proportion of affordable housing on all new developments of 15 or more properties. This proportion is 10%, 20% or 30% in different parts of the Borough (see our Supplementary Planning Document on Affordable Housing for more details). We also work with housing associations and other organisations to bring forward regeneration schemes that provide affordable housing for local people. You can see details of some of the new affordable housing in Gedling below.

In 2010/11, we saw the delivery of 53 new properties for social rent (including 2 through the Mortgage Rescue scheme), 1 for Rent to HomeBuy and 2 through HomeBuy Direct, making a total of 56 new affordable homes. Over the last five years, almost 300 new affordable homes have been provided in Gedling:

	2006/07	2007/08	2008/09	2009/10	2010/11
New affordable homes	41	95	43	50	56
Total new homes	296	447	204	274	341

All new homes for rent on these developments are advertised on Homesearch - please register there if you are interested in them; you do not need to contact us separately.
