Last Wednesday’s meeting of the Village Action Group at the Sycamore was very positive. Unless we identify local need, the District Council and the Peak Park Authority will not push forward. Dales Housing and Nottingham Community Housing Association are very positive, but funding and planning consent depend on demonstration of need. At present the authorities work to the rule of thumb that ‘one home will be created for every three households identified as needing it’.
It was agreed that all those who require now, or will require in the next few years, affordable housing in or near Parwich be asked to write a brief letter to the Village Action Group stating their need. If you, or anyone you know, also want to be included, get in touch. Writing a letter does not commit you to any future course of action, as it is understood that individuals’ circumstances may change in the time taken to provide any new homes.
If you have any questions contact Ann Wheeldon (571) or Peter Trewhitt (287). Please give your letters to Ann or Peter or leave them at the Sycamore Inn by Sunday 8th June. (Information in the letters will remain confidential although they will be passed on to Derbyshire Dales District Council.) We will take the numbers to the Parish Council and with them work out the best way to approach the District Council.
