To inform the Executive of the development of new council housing at Martinshaw Lane, Groby and to request a local lettings policy be introduced for allocation of these properties.

The Executive gave consideration to the local lettings policy for new council housing at Martinshaw Lane, Groby. Members felt that these properties would be in high demand and sought clarification in regard to the application of the policy. It was noted that the ‘local connection’ to Groby would override the banding of an applicant to ensure that local people would take precedence in allocation of these properties. It was moved by Councillor Boothby, seconded by Councillor Morrell and

RESOLVED – the local lettings policy for the bungalows at Martinshaw Lane, Groby, be approved and that applicants with a connection to Groby be given priority for 100% of new build properties and 50% of re-let properties for an initial period of one year.
