Ewart Bequest - Greenfield Road Update The purpose of this report is to update the Executive on the background, progress, and current position of the use of funds from the Joseph Ewart Bequest, and to request additional funding to enable delivery of five affordable dwellings for older people on land at Greenfield Road.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Executive acting as Trustee of the Joseph Ewart Bequest:
1. note the contents of this update report;
2. agree to the proposed enhanced level of specification to support the council in the delivery of its aim to become a carbon neutral council by 2030, by encouraging carbon reduction and carbon offsetting, and promotion of biodiversity and sustainable homes; and,
3. agree an increased budget allocation to deliver 5 new homes at the enhanced rather than the three originally proposed.
Minutes: Cllr Rosoman presented the report which set out the proposal to build five affordable dwellings on a site at Greenfield Road, Farnham to be let in accordance within the terms of the Joseph Ewart Bequest. The five dwellings would be built to an enhanced specification in line with the government’s preferred uplift in energy efficiency and zero carbon footprint and would contribute to achieving the Council’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2030 while meeting the needs of Farnham residents aged over 65 who were on the Council’s Housing Register.
The Executive, acting as Trustee of the Joseph Ewart Bequest RESOLVED to:
1. note the contents of the update report; 2. agree to the proposed enhanced level of specification to support the council in the delivery of its aim to become a carbon neutral council by 2030, by encouraging carbon reduction and carbon offsetting, and promotion of biodiversity and sustainable homes; and, 3. agree an increase budget allocation to deliver 5 new homes at the enhanced specification, rather than the three originally proposed.
