RESOLVED:   1)         
That a housing scheme of 21-24 affordable housing units at the Bus
Station Site in Hunstanton plus a library in partnership with
Norfolk County Council and in consort with the NCC Transport
Interchange Scheme (the “Hunstanton Bus Station Proposed
Housing Scheme”) shall be designed and costed up to RIBA
Stage 4 with an approved budget of £250,000.

 
2)            
The Bus Station Site in Hunstanton is deemed a
strategic site for affordable housing delivery.

 
RECOMMENDED:      3)         
That the Capital Programme be amended to include Hunstanton Bus
Station Proposed Housing Scheme based on the initial cost estimate
of £4m to be funded from affordable housing funding held and
ringfenced by the Council of £2.2m and internal borrowing
against the capital receipts from the eventual sale of the
affordable housing units estimated to be £1.8m.
 
Reason for Decision
 
The decision to designate the
site for Affordable Housing creates an opportunity to deliver much
needed affordable housing in Hunstanton to meet identified need; it
will see the delivery of a new library by NCC; and the development
will sit alongside a planned refreshed bus station with modern
accessible facilities
