chief executive of Great Places Housing Group, said: “Petre Wood has been designed and built to serve the need in the area for really good quality, highly desir­ able, yet affordable and energy- efficient homes for people living in the local community. “It provides a choice of stylish


three and two-bedroom homes, both for sale on a shared owner­ ship basis via our sales arm, Plumlife; or for affordable rent. '


. ■‘Those properties available for affordable rent are in very high demand,;and there are stringent criteria set by the council and Great Places Housing: Group regarding who is eligible to apply for them. -‘‘The issue of affordability in


the Ribble Valley is critical, given ■ the exceptionally high sales and rental prices in the area. Offering a fair mix of homes for sale and for rent to families and individu­ als who live and work locally is a • priority..


. “I t ’s a formula we’ve'success- fully managed in many of our other developments across the North West, and one which we believe will have a very positive impact in Langho.” . Rachael Stott, Ribble Valley


Borough Council’s housing strate­ gy officer, added: “The legal-


. agreement, which is part of the planning consent for the Petre Wood site, requires every unit on. the site to be occupied by a per­ son approved by the council. “The criteria for approval was '


developed in partnership with Great Places Housing Associa- ' tion specifically to address hous­ ing need in the Ribble Valley.; • “The council will consider


applications from all buyers who can demonstrate a housing need requirement for the t3T)e of unit, and who are either living or work- ; ing in the Ribble Valley, or have lived in the Ribble Valley for any five of the last 10 years and also have close family living in the borough.

to satisfy financial criteria before the council will give approval.” The development has so far


gained a huge amount of interest from those people struggling to gain a foothold on the Ribble Val­ ley property ladder, with more than 100 people turning up to the launch. ; The development offers local people the chance to fulfil their home ownership dreams through a Government-backed affordable homes scheme - Shared Owner­ ship. I t allows eligible buyers to buy a share of their home - typi­ cally from 50%, and pay a low rent on the remainder. Purchase prices start from just


£40,250 for a 50% stake in an apartment. The shared ownership scheme also gives buyers the chance to buy the remaining share of the property in the future, either in stages or a single lump payment. Mr Harrison added: “We are


delighted with this initial response,, and certainly very encouraged by the genuine inter­ est shown by a broad cross section of hopeful buyers. Of the original 21 houses, only one is now still available, and of the 12 apart­ ments for sale, eight have now already been reserved, with more in the pipeline.”
