Lydden Meadow is an attractive
farmstead style development of
ten high quality, energy efficient
homes. Set in an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty
(AONB) these homes have been
built to provide affordable
housing primarily for people with
close connections to the village
through residency, family or work.
Disposal criteria laid down by the S106 should an occupant need to
sell.
In order to buy one of these houses, the purchaser must be registered on the Local Authority’s Choice Based Lettings list and the Government’s Homebuy scheme (anyone can join these lists) and be unable to afford an open-market house. This is known as a “Qualifying Person”. Potential purchasers who are ‘Qualifying Persons’ will be considered under a cascade system of priority: 1) firstly to anyone in the parish which includes repurchasing by the Trust (BNCPT) 2) followed by anyone in the surrounding parishes 3) followed by anyone within the District of West Dorset 4) followed anyone within the county of Dorset AND if no sale has been achieved within a period of 3 months, then the property can then be sold to anyone in the UK who is a “qualifying Person”. Typically a property valuer would see this as “unrestricted” in terms of sale opportunities.
