#PublicFeedback Sought on Potential Licensing for #PrivateRentalHousing in #Leeds. #ResidentsofLeeds are invited to participate in discussions regarding a proposed new licensing system for privately rented housing. Initiated by #LeedsCityCouncil, this follows the introduction of ‘#SelectiveLicensing’ in #Beeston and #Harehills in 2020, which was aimed at improving the quality of rental homes and addressing social and health disparities within these communities. The initial scheme has shown promising outcomes; however, according to the #HousingAct2004, selective licensing in #England is limited to five years. Consequently, the council is now evaluating a broader initiative that would not only revisit #Beeston and #Harehills but also extend to include areas of #Armley, #Holbeck, #Hunslet, #CrossGreen, and #EastEndPark. #Leeds is proactive in addressing the diverse housing needs of its population. Alongside new development, the city is renovating existing properties to meet modern standards of living. These renovations are crucial in preserving the architectural heritage of #Leeds while ensuring that all housing is safe, comfortable, and suitable for contemporary living https://lnkd.in/g8SHyBt7 #LeedsNews #LeedsStar #LeedsStarNewspaper #LeedsCityCouncil #VisitLeeds #Leeds

What are the common misconceptions about Co-Housing in the UK? Despite its potential, co-housing remains misunderstood, creating barriers to its wider adoption. The first misconception is this: Co-Housing is the Same as Communal Living. Co-housing is often confused with communal living, where all resources and spaces are shared equally. Many believe that by joining a co-housing community, they will have to relinquish their privacy and autonomy. In reality, Co-housing is distinct from communal living in that it balances private and shared spaces. Residents have self-contained homes with private kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas, but they also share common spaces such as gardens, workshops, and dining rooms. The idea is not to enforce constant social interaction but to offer opportunities for collaboration and community activities as desired. This structure encourages a blend of independence and togetherness, allowing residents to engage at their own comfort level. Co-housing, a form of intentional community living that combines private homes with shared spaces, is growing in popularity in the UK. It aims to foster a sense of community, reduce living costs, and promote sustainable living. ⚫ This Lancaster Cohousing video gives some insights here: https://lnkd.in/eUQHJ584 #Cohousing #SustainableLiving #affordablehousing #CommunityLandTrust

🏡🔍 Unveiling Stratford upon Avon's Interwar Housing Landscape: A Visual Journey This heat map of Stratford upon Avon visually highlights the areas with homes built between World War I and World War II. The darker the red regions, the higher the concentration of homes from this period. These areas stand out against the grey regions, where no homes from that era exist. The interwar period was marked by a challenging economic landscape. The Great Depression of the 1930s caused widespread unemployment and reduced economic activity, making home construction difficult. Additionally, funding for public housing was limited, and high-interest rates deterred private investment. Social unrest and political instability further dampened growth in the property market. Despite these conditions, certain areas in Stratford upon Avon experienced growth, reflecting the changing housing needs and the influence of early urban planning efforts. This graphic provides a fascinating insight into the town’s development and offers a window into a unique chapter of British housing history. 🌟🏘️ What's your living situation like?

HARWORTH’S BLUEPRINT FOR GROWTH ✅ Sustainable urban expansion – let’s build at scale, in the right places    As our chief executive Lynda Shillaw says in our Blueprint for Growth film “You can’t contain everything to brownfield sites and within city centres. You have to assemble land in the right place and at scale.”   We need to unlock more land for development, and not just brownfield. The Green Belt has an important role, but its size (12.6% of land in England) and a short supply of brownfield land is preventing the delivery of much-needed housing and employment space across parts of our country.   Land should be released in strategically appropriate locations – including areas close to major transport hubs – to enable large-scale development, drive socioeconomic growth and improve life outcomes.   At Waverley, on the site of the former Orgreave Colliery in South Yorkshire, we’ve seen the benefits of large, well-planned, strategic development, working in partnership with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council.   With over 1,700 homes, a primary school, emerging high street, new community park, a world-leading Advanced Manufacturing Park and connections to Sheffield and beyond, it is driving growth in this part of the region.    Read our proposed policy proposals for sustainable urban expansion in our Blueprint for Growth below 👇     https://lnkd.in/et7DkaYe #sustainability #communities #growth #regeneration

Haines City, Florida, is embarking on a significant initiative to rejuvenate the historic Oakland community's business district, a move that's stirring excitement among both former business owners and residents alike. This effort, led by the Haines City Community Redevelopment Agency, aims to restore the vibrancy of an area that was once the heart of the African American community in the 1950s but experienced a sharp decline in the mid-1980s.  The revitalization of the Oakland community's business district represents more than just the restoration of buildings and businesses; it symbolizes the rekindling of a community's spirit and the preservation of its historical significance. As Haines City embarks on this journey, the initiative offers a beacon of hope for the revival of black-owned businesses and the restoration of a vibrant community life that once defined this historic district. #RedevelopmentWorks #Redevelopment #FloridaRedevelopment #MyFRA #FLRedevelopment #hainescityfl #hainescityCRA
