Queen Camel CLT's vision for affordable housing 



1.    Location

1st choice: south of the village off the West Camel Road. 

 
2.    Type of dwellings

A mix of two, three and four bedroom, two storey, properties, semi-detached or terraced (maximum four in a terrace).  

3.    Number of properties

Based on the Housing Needs Survey – up to 20 affordable dwellings – but read 7 also.

4.    Layout of the development

Must be as appealing and pleasant as any private development with a minimum of two discrete car parking spaces per household and if possible a garage for the 3-bedroom properties.  If possible not a straight line of properties, ideally a ‘farm’ style development.

An open space (as the green on The Glebe) is desirable.

5.    Architecture

Must be houses that people look at and want to live in.  In appearance to reflect the traditional styles already present in the village.

6.    Construction & Sustainability

Minimum CSH Level 4, with consideration given to Passivhaus – especially innovative insulation and heating.

Ideally timber framed with a mix of wall and roof finishes (wood cladding, brick, local stone, rendered and tiles and artificial slate).

7.    Type of tenure

Split between rented and shared ownership, possibly one or two additional houses for outright sale but only if necessary to provide cross-subsidy.

8.    Cost to household - To be added in due course in conjunction with Hastoe 

Typical cost of 2-bedroom  £                    (shared ownership, able to staircase up to 80% stake)

Typical cost of 3-bedroom  £                    (shared ownership, able to staircase up to 80% stake)

Typical rent for 2-bedroom £106 p.w.             (typically 80% open of market rent)

Typical rent for 3-bedroom £120 p.w.              (typically 80% open of market rent)

Typical rent for 4-bedroom £ 138 p.w.             (typically 80% open of market rent)

 9.    Allocation Policy

Application for these homes will be through SSDC's Home Finder Somerset web portal HomeFinderSomerset.co.uk

Allocation will be managed by Hastoe Housing Association in accordance with criteria set out in the  Planning Section 106 Agreement and the QC CLT/Hastoe partnership Agreement.

Further details on our partner, Hastoe Housing Association, can be found on their web-site Hastoe.com
