Rural Housing Enabling Services for Leicestershire Rural Housing Group

About

Welland Procurement awarded a contract to Midlands Rural Housing Association Limited for the supply of Rural Housing Enabling services across Leicestershire on behalf of Melton Borough Council and the Leicestershire Rural Housing Group.

The contract, valued at £45,200, required the identification of at least six potential new deliverable housing sites (minimum one per local authority area) with evidence of willing landowners, planning authority acceptance, priority location status, identified housing need, and no obvious constraints.

It also involved initiating projects to increase affordable housing dwellings, raising the profile of rural affordable housing need, and conducting at least six rural housing need surveys if the minimum sites were not found.
