A small development of 12 houses with a mix of tenure, to provide housing for young and old in the village of Bartlow, some of which may be employees.
Bartlow desperately needs housing for young, and older people who wish to downsize. An HNS demonstrates need for four units. The village of Bartlow is a small hamlet of 45 households with an excellent community spirit, a local pub and a lovingly cared for church, But the village has become simply unaffordable for young to stay in the community (5 sales in 3 years between £300k and £1m), and for the older generation to downsize and stay in their location of choice. A recent Housing Needs Survey undertaken by Cambridge Acre demonstrated an 81% acceptance of the need for further development, and the need already for 4 affordable properties (2 x 1 bed, 1 x 2 bed, 1 x 3 bed) and 7 households said their housing was not adequate. Discussions have taken place with some providers. The Estate is keen to develop a well designed and sympathetically located development of mixed tenure housing which could include open market, shared equity, and affordable to rent housing. This is viewed by the village as desirable by the vast majority, as evidenced by the HNS, and the minutes of a previous Parish Council Meeting 15/09/2016. As a result of the HNS carried out in the spring/summer of 2018, a further meeting was held to discuss the results of the survey in June 2018, and only 3 households were not wholly supportive of the project.
