St Teath
CRHA owns 6 three bedroom houses at Brambleside, St Teath.
The homes were part of a joint development between Cornwal Rural Housing Association and Cornwall Community Land Trust providing 6 homes for rent and 10 homes for sale to qualifying local people.
The houses were completed in December 2010 and all properties have private rear gardens and a parking space.
The six homes for rent have ground source heat pumps which provide heating and hot water. Those homes achieve a Level 3 rating under the Code for Sustainable Homes and have a gross internal floor area of 93 sq.m.
The average rent at April 2011 was £94.40 per week, plus a service charge of £0.50 per week to cover the cost maintaining communal areas.
The homes were developed with the assistance of grant funding from the Homes & Communities Agency and Cornwall Council.
The planning restrictions placed on these properties stated that they were to be used to house people from St Teath and the surrounding parishes. A Local Lettings Plan was agreed with Cornwall Council which allowed first consideration to be given to people with a connection to St Teath.
