Conversions from social rent to 'affordable rent'

Jerry Flynn made this Freedom of Information request to Hyde Housing Association
This authority is not subject to FOI law, so is not legally obliged to respond (details).
This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

Response to this request is long overdue. Although not legally required to do so, we would have expected Hyde Housing Association to have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Hyde Housing Association,

Following the re-classification of housing associations as public bodies by the Office of National Statistics, we are writing to request the following information under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR 2004).

According to planning application documents, Hyde Housing is the registered provider for a total of 247 social rented homes, provided as part of the Bermondsey Spa regeneration - (202 of which registered under planning application ref:04/AP/0102 , 7 under ref:12/AP/0164 and 38 under ref:05/AP/2617).

Please tell us how many of these 247 social rented homes have since been converted to 'affordable rent'; i.e. how many of these no longer have rent levels determined by the National Rent Regime formula, but are determined instead as a percentage of market rent?

We look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Jerry Flynn

What is an Emergency repair?

These are faults that put your health at risk or could
damage the property further.

• The repair presents an immediate danger, such as
loose or falling brickwork, gas leaks, and electrical
faults likely to cause shock or fire, and total loss
[5]left of power. [6]right
• Further damage will be caused if the repair is
delayed  e.g. burst pipes, severe roof damage
• The repair is a potential health hazard i.e. communal
staircase lighting, drainage problems causing water
waste to back up or flood entrance paths.

In the event of an emergency our contractor will normally
make the repair/fault “safe” until we can arrange for a
permanent fix to be done.
