GREEN ENERGY EVENT FOR LANDLORDS

News & Articles No Responses »

Dec 142010

Landlords from across the East Riding, Hull, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire are to be offered the opportunity to receive free impartial advice from experts on how to make money by producing green energy.

Installing renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels, is not only good for the environment, but it can also be an investment. Under the Government’s Feed-in-Tariff scheme, a typical three-bedroom property with a two kilowatt solar panel installation could earn around £800 per annum, as well as make an £120 per annum saving on fuel bills. Payments are made to the property’s owner for 25 years, paying off the initial installation costs and providing a guaranteed income for the future.

At the event, to be held on Thursday January 27th 2011, interested landlords will be given information on the Government’s incentives, what renewable technologies are on the market and easy ways to make properties more energy efficient.

Organised by the Humber Housing Partnership in association with the Energy Saving Trust, the half day event, at the Rope Walk in Barton-upon-Humber, is free to attend and will run from 9.30am to 12.30pm, followed by a buffet lunch.

“We want as many landlords as possible in the Humber to benefit from the Government’s incentives ” said Councillor Jane Evison, Chair of the Humber Housing Partnership. “This event will provide an opportunity for local landlords to put questions to experts and find out what they need to consider before installing renewable energy technologies”

If you are a landlord and are interested in attending this event or would like more information contact Matt Lewer on 01482 396115 or at matt.lewer@eastriding.gov.uk. Spaces are limited so book early to avoid disappointment.

Humber Housing Strategy out for Consultation

News & Articles Comments Off

Oct 302009

The Humber Housing Partnership has produced a sub regional housing strategy which is currently out for consultation until the end of November. The partnership comprises the four local authorities (East Riding of Yorkshire, Hull, North and North East Lincolnshire ), Housing Associations, Gateway Pathfinder, Private Sector, Humber and Wolds Rural Community Council and representatives from a number of regional bodies .

The Strategy, which runs from 2009 – 2019, sets out a framework for housing investment in the Humber. The strategy is very closely linked to other investment plans relating to economic development, planning and transport. The overarching vision for housing in the Humber is that there should be more balanced housing markets where local residents have access to a wide range of high quality affordable homes with related support contributing to the overall economic prosperity of the area. To achieve this it sets three strategic priorities:

Creating more balanced housing markets;
Providing high quality homes and;
Meeting diverse housing needs.

Key areas of activity in East Riding over the period of the strategy wiill include the need to build more houses in sustainable locations and to ensure in particular that more of these are genuinely affordable. The strategy will also promote further housing led regeneration in parts of Goole and subsequently in parts of both Bridlington and Withernsea. There will be a focus on improving the quality of existing housing and in particular where this improves living conditions for more vulnerable households. Key to this will be the need to tackle fuel poverty through interventions such as new central heating systems and other energy efficiency measures.

If you are interested in finding out more about what the strategy says, you can view a copy on the Humber Economic Partnership website (www.humberep.co.uk). There will also be a questionairre available on this site which can be used to provide any views. These should then be sent to Housing.Strategy@eastriding.gov.uk by Monday 30th November. If you need any further information on this issue, please call 01482 396111.
