Kings Hill phase 5 local letting plan

Introduction

This plan applies to the 84 homes in Kings Hill (59 provided at affordable rents and 25 as shared ownership homes) provided by MHS homes group (MHS):

There is no lift provision.

There are level access to bathrooms for all ground floor flats.

Shared ownership share purchases will start from 25%.

Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council (TMBC) has nomination rights to the rented properties managed by MHS and this Local Lettings Plan (LLP) is designed to support sustainable letting on the development and balance maximising meeting housing need whilst seeking the prevention of potential management problems.

There may be exceptional circumstances in which TMBC and MHS agree to allocate a home outside of this LLP.

This LLP gives priority to applicants with a local connection to the immediate area of the development, those with a local connection to Kings Hill ward and East Malling, West Malling and Offham ward will have highest priority. This plan will also aim to achieve 50% of lettings to economically active households to prevent a concentration of residents wholly dependent on welfare benefits.

Commercial vehicles cannot be parked on these two developments. Residents will not be able to park a white van or any commercial vehicle at their home, or within the residential area of this development. There is a requirement not to park any heavy goods vehicle, commercial vehicle, caravan, boat trailer or other similar type of vehicle on any part of the property, other than a garage.
