The Cabinet Member considered a report on proposals to create a Local Lettings Policy (LLP) for the Carmarthenshire County Council development in YMCA, Llanelli. The YMCA received funding via the Transforming Towns Funding to transform the former YMCA building which included the redevelopment for commercial units and 8 x 2 bedroom apartments. The building is located in the Tyshia Ward which is within the top 10% of the most deprived of Wales. As identified within Carmarthenshire County Council’s Llanelli Town Centre Regeneration Delivery Plan 2018 there was a clear vision for the town centre as a location to live, work and visit. The project had been aligned with the Welsh Governments Taking Wales Forward Programme and supports businesses, encourages skills and employment whilst also providing housing units at an affordable rate. The report identified the ward of Tyisha, in which the YMCA development is situated as an area of high housing need, and therefore the development aimed to address this by delivering 8 x 2 bedroom, social rented apartments. As set out within the Transforming Towns Funding bid, the following criteria would need to be met: · Households where a member is in full time work or on a retirement income; · Households with a disability working part-time but are able to afford the rent; · Households where a member works part-time but are able to afford the rent; · People who are working in the Town Centre; · People who are setting up a business in Llanelli; · Households where at least one member is a key worker. · Current Social Housing tenants who are under-occupying their home and wish to downsize which will free up a family sized home. In reviewing the LLP, an overview of the prioritisation allocation, criteria and key workers was provided to the Cabinet Member. The LLP would remain in place for one year following the initial lets to ensure the community is appropriately established. This policy supersedes any previous local lettings policies that were approved for this scheme. RESOLVED that the proposed Local Lettings Policy for the new homes in YMCA, Llanelli, Carmarthenshire County Council new development be approved.
Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
