Dear Gareth,

I am writing in respect of your recent enquiry for information held by the
Council, I will respond under the provisions of the Freedom of Information
Act.

You asked the following:

The information requested relates to the purchase of Section 106

Housing over the last three years.

The information I seek is:

affordable housing units in each calendar year of 2017, 2018, 2019 and
2020.

2) the planning reference number that each application applies to

3) For each development in which Sage Housing has acquired Section 106
units between  01/01/2017 and 24/01/2020:

i) The name of the development

ii) The planning reference number

iv) The postcode(s) of the development

v) The number of affordable units in the development

vi) The housing tenure mix (e.g social rent, affordable rent, shared
ownership)

vii) The decision date (date/month/year)

viii) The date until when the units are contracted with Sage Housing to
stay affordable

(date/month/year)

ix) The price paid by Sage Housing to acquire the development (if known)

x) For rental units, if the council has nomination rights to the first
lets, what percentage of units will the council have nomination rights for
on subsequent lets?

xi) List any requests made by Sage Housing to alter or amend the original
Section 106 agreement and whether the council agreed to these.

xii) Whether the development is a completed or a forthcoming (“starts on

4) For each development please attach the viability assessment

5) For each unit acquired by Sage Housing:

i) The name of the unit’s development

ii) The unit’s address

iii) The price paid by Sage Housing to acquire the unit (if known)

I confirm the Council holds the information requested and can confirm the
following:

Sage Housing does not have any properties in the South Lakeland District.
