Flats and Houses for Affordable Rent in Quorn September 2007
With Borough Council and Housing Corporation financial support, East Midlands Housing Association (EMHA) is now building four flats and eight houses for affordable rent on the Meynell Road site in Quorn. The first of these properties is likely to be ready for occupation in late September 2007.
The Borough Council will nominate all the initial tenants of the new properties (thereafter, the Council will nominate 75% of vacancies and EMHA 25%). Priority be given to people with a connection to the village of Quorn via a 'Local Lettings Policy' within the Borough Council’s normal allocation policy.
A household will be judged as having a connection to the village of Quorn if any person in that household:
Resides in the Parish of Quorn and has done so for the last six months
Has resided in the Parish of Quorn for at least 12 months in the last five years
Is employed in the Parish of Quorn or who has a firm offer of employment there
Gives/receives support to/from a relative who resides in the parish of Quorn
Was resident in Quorn and had to leave the Parish to accept an offer of social housing elsewhere in the Borough (as there was no accommodation available in the Parish at that time) and still occupies social housing in the Borough.
Anybody with Quorn connections who wishes to be considered for the new properties is advised to make an application to join the Borough Council’s Housing Register as quickly as possible.
The properties have either two or three bedrooms, so it is unlikely they will be be allocated to single people or childless couples unless there are exceptional circumstances.
Application forms can be obtained from the Borough Council Offices or by telephoning 01509-634567.
