The vision for the project is to develop a range of tools and interventions to support and accelerate the delivery of affordable and local needs housing and associated community infrastructure for the St Ives Parish. The project aims to apply innovation and flexibility to find local solutions which best meet community aspiration and the homes which St Ives' needs. The project will utilise planning contributions collected for the St Ives Parish, by Cornwall Council, specifically to enable the delivery of affordable housing. The project is a partnership between the Town Council and Cornwall Council to identify, de-risk and assist in the progress and / or delivery of 250 affordable housing plots within the parish of St Ives. It is expected to run for up to 3 years and will include the following key outputs and outcomes: • A deliverable supply of sites and opportunities for a minimum of 250 affordable homes • A RAG assessment of the most deliverable sites with timescales and agreed action plans for each • A schedule of sites and for each, a suitable set of delivery tools with the aim of accelerating delivery. Tools will vary from site to site but, in general could comprise of • A completed development brief capable of being adopted/ recognised by the planning authority • Completed supporting studies or documents with the aim of re-risking a planning application or delivery • Planning permission (planning in principle, outline or detailed) • Site purchase / Land owner / affordable housing provider heads of terms for agreement • Land owner collaboration agreements • Cornwall Council approval for land transfer • Completed economic viability assessments with agreed affordable housing outputs aligned to housing need and adopted policy • A proactive delivery board with a key objective of accelerating delivery of affordable and local needs homes • The completion of a neigbhourhood priorities statement subject to community consultation. Required Resources Dedicated people resources are identified as the key success factor.
