Rectory Lane, Breadsall is a new development by emh homes in partnership with East Midlands Housing Group and Erewash Borough Council. 

The development consist of seven new affordable homes (three houses and four bungalows) at Rectory Lane, Breadsall. Three are for Affordable Rent and four for Shared Ownership (a form of low-cost home ownership). Due to the shortage of affordable accommodation in the area, emh homes and Erewash Borough Council have developed a local lettings policy to give preference to housing applicants who require affordable accommodation in the area.

Question Title

* 1. Housing Needs Assessments were carried out in the villages of Breadsall, Morley and Little Eaton in 2010. These showed a need for up to 12 affordable homes specifically to meet the needs of people living in, or with a close connection to Breadsall, Little Eaton or Morley.

Unfortunately, despite ongoing work from a housing association, it has not been possible to find a suitable site to deliver these in Little Eaton or Morley. emh homes and Erewash Borough Council therefore want to ensure that there are opportunities for people from Breadsall, Morley and Little Eaton to be able to secure an affordable home in the area they need.

Do you agree with this proposal?

Question Title

* 2. For the purpose of this local lettings policy, we define local connection to Breadsall, Little Eaton or Morley as having:

  • lived continuously for a period of no less than 3 years out of the previous 5 years in one of these villages
  • lived continuously for a period of no less than 6 months out of the previous 12 months in one of these villages
  • lived previously for a period of no less than 3 years out of the previous 5 years in one of these villages
  • an essential need to live close to other people who are living in one of these villages
  • an essential need to give support or care, to someone who is living in one of these villages
  • an essential need to live close to their work in in one of these villages.
Do you have a local connection to any of the villages?

Thank you for your time.
