Full council record
Content

Subject to confirmation of fund
availability pursuant to paragraph 6.5 of this report, to approve
the allocation of £13,728 of Section 106 receipts towards the
retrofitting and extension of a residential property in Horsham.
Further details are contained in the report and exempt
appendix.

Reasons for the decision

To enable a large
multigenerational family to remain in the property instead of
presenting as homeless.

Alternative options considered

Not allocating section 106
monies to this project was discounted on the basis that the younger
family members will be overcrowded and may present as homeless for
a temporary accommodation placement which would result in another
household waiting to be rehoused on our housing register.
