Condition
3
Amended
to insert an ‘informative’ regarding the future marketing of a property as
follows:
The
dwelling-houses identified as "local needs housing" shall not be
occupied otherwise than by a person with a local connection, or the widow or
widower of such a person and any dependents of such a person living with him or
her, unless the property has been marketed for sale for a period of at least 16
weeks at market value price, as detailed in informative 1 below, and at the end
of the 16 week period a person with a local connection has not been identified
as a purchaser.
This
process must be repeated for every successor in title (repeat sale) to each
individual dwelling.
In this
condition the following definitions apply:
'Person
with a Local Connection' means an individual who before taking up occupation of
the dwelling satisfies one of the following conditions:
(1) The
person has been in continuous employment in the Locality defined for at least
the last 9 months and for a minimum of 16 hours per week immediately prior to
occupation; or
(2) The
person needs to live in the Locality defined because they need substantial care
from a relative who lives in the Locality defined, or because they need to
provide substantial care to a relative who lives in the Locality defined.
Substantial care means a level of care that is identified as being of a
'substantial' nature by an appropriate medical doctor or relevant statutory
support agency; or
(3) The
person has been continuously resident in the Locality defined for three years
immediately prior to the occupation of the dwelling and is need of another
dwelling resulting from changes to their household as detailed in informative 1
below:
- The
'Locality' is defined as the Council's administrative wards of Bishopston, Fairwood, Gower, Mayals, Newton, Oystermouth, Pennard, Penclawdd and West Cross
The
obligations contained in this condition shall not be binding or enforceable
against any mortgagee or chargee or any receiver
appointed by such a mortgagee or chargee or any
person deriving title through such a mortgagee, chargee
or receiver provided always that a successor in title of such a person will be bound
by the obligations contained in this condition.
Informative
1
The
marketing of the property of sale for at least 16 weeks requires the dwelling
to be advertised by an estate agents in the Locality and on a well-used property
agency website. Only where the Local Planning Authority is satisfied that there
have been no appropriate offers of purchase from a person with a local
connection, can the property may be marketed to, and subsequently purchased by,
a person that does not meet the local need criteria. The 16 week marketing
period can only begin from the time at which the sale prices of the properties
are publically available and a show home/sales office has been established for
interested purchasers to visit to inform their decision to buy the property.
Circumstances
where a person is ‘in need of another dwelling resulting from changes to their
household’ include (but is not limited to), getting married, divorced, having
children, requiring more space for a growing family, downsizing to a more
manageable home or adult children forming new households and purchasing a
property for the first time, or where a person is returning to the Locality
defined within 12 months of the completion of undertaking full-time postsecondary
education or skills training.
Reason:
To ensure that the proposed market housing (dwellings not defined as affordable
homes) meet an identified local social or economic need.

Drive’ to ‘104 Higher Lane’.
