MORE affordable housing could be provided on City of York Council development sites in future – following the recommendations of a review of housebuilding across the city. The review looked at aspects that affect affordable housing – including service charges that residents pay to cover repair work and the upkeep of shared spaces, but which can be a significant monthly bill for people living in affordable properties. It also recommends that York council works with housing associations on future developments to deliver more affordable homes. And that in future versions of council housing schemes, officers look to increase the number of affordable homes built.
Cllr Stephen Fenton near the proposed construction site off Moor Lane PLANS for a controversial temporary works compound in York have been changed to move the Network Rail facility further away from people s homes. Neighbours received a letter in February saying that the construction compound was due to open in Moor Lane in nine days and would be in place for just under three years. Work is due to take place 24 hours a day and will include piling as part of plans to upgrade the line between York and Church Fenton. One couple living near the site said £55,000 had been wiped off the value of their house and the buyers of the property pulled out of the sale as a result of the plans.
