given the go-ahead Punch Taverns lodged a planning application with Erewash Borough Council to demolish The White Hart Inn The pub company initially sought permission to construct four homes on the site paving the way for the vacant pub to be pulled down and building work on the new properties to begin The site connects directly to the Erewash green belt a report prepared by the authority’s planning department recommended the revised scheme be approved The report said: “Transport links are good in the area “The site would be a good natural expansion of the types of local tenure in similar height and density The site is brownfield and highly sustainable “Housing demand for affordable homes is strong in the area A demolition and new build scheme would be the only cost effective way to develop a viable housing scheme on this site.” the borough council said: “The plans have been amended over the course of the application in order to better address the street scene and the bend in the highway and to address concerns regarding the proximity to and overlooking neighbouring dwellings “The proposed design of all five dwellings is considered to be acceptable in both scale and appearance.” Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right All the latest applications from Erewash Borough Council By InYourArea Community ·

The $23.1 million sale of the Sardy House • While it has been widely publicized that Pitkin County real estate sales this year will fall well short of the $2 billion in total transactions from last year That’s according to a recent newsletter from broker James Benvenuto who reported August registered 39 property sales Benvenuto also pointed out that sales of single-family homes are actually outpacing last year’s numbers in Snowmass Village up from $74 million for the same period in 2015 • Aspen real estate broker Brenda Wild recently was named the Mountain District chair for the Colorado Association of Realtors’ 2016-17 Leadership Council Wild is owner of RE/MAX Premier Properties in Aspen • Aspen firm Rowland+Broughton Architecture/Urban Design/Interior Design has been recognized with a 2016 International Interior Design Association Rocky Mountain Chapter Best Award in the Eat and Drink category for the Matsuhisa Denver project Readers around Aspen and Snowmass Village make the Aspen Times’ work possible Your financial contribution supports our efforts to deliver quality your support is critical to help us keep our community informed about the evolving coronavirus pandemic and the impact it is having locally Each donation will be used exclusively for the development and creation of increased news coverage are you considering any property transactions this spring View Results News | Dec 30 A few Aspen School District staffers will get to ring in the new year from their new digs at the edge of Aspen’s West End where several of seven district-owned units located on West Hallam Street near the S-curves are already filling in with their newest residents Three of the seven units have already been assigned and the new tenants will be moved in by the new year according to the district’s housing program manager Elen Woods Mitchell a few of the remaining units will likely be allocated using a lottery system The district did not want to overcommit units while wrapping up the final closing details on the Hallam property which is why the units weren’t all allocated at once One ADA-compliant unit likely won’t be part of the forthcoming lottery because staff who need accommodations get priority on that space Rents at the Hallam property are $900 per month for the single one-bedroom unit $1,600 per month for each of a couple two-bedroom units $2,100 per month for each of a few three-bedroom units and $2,400 for the single four-bedroom unit onsite “It’s really nice to see something come to fruition so quickly in the bond so it’s setting a nice example for us for (how we’ll) go forward,” Woods Mitchell said; she considers the acquisition a “feather in their cap” for the Board of Education and district administrators The district is now on a roll to acquire more housing At the last Board of Education meeting of the year on Dec the school board approved a few contracts that express the intent to purchase eight units — some with four or five bedrooms — on Waters Avenue in Aspen for $5 million and one single-bedroom unit on Lower River Road between Woody Creek and Old Snowmass for $400,000 Those board approvals are for the cost of the properties but don’t actually mean the sales have closed yet A handful of other acquisitions are already in the books this year ranging from developable lots at Stott’s Mill in the midvalley to move-in-ready condos on Main Street in Aspen The district’s mission to attract and retain employees calls for a “diversified portfolio” of housing options Benevolent sellers are the ones to thank for some of the purchases that have rung in well below market rate “The district feels very supported by this community and it didn’t end with the bond,” Woods Mitchell said and those inquiries are absolutely welcome Each acquisition marks another step toward a goal to nearly double the existing inventory in the next three years and ensure the district is able to offer affordable housing in and around Pitkin County to every full-time employee who wants it by 2036 15 housing presentation to the school board That may not mean housing every employee on the payroll though; Woods Mitchell sees the district’s staff housing — entirely composed of rentals — as a “feeder program” into deed-restricted home ownership through the Aspen-Pitkin County Housing Authority and said the district aims to support employees who are ultimately looking to secure housing through an APCHA lottery The school district currently houses 26% of its staff in 76 rental units The district owns and manages 63 of those units and sublets 13 more to help meet staff housing needs while working on acquiring more options the aim is to up those stats to house 54% of the staff in 143 units through bond-funded developments purchases and expansions of existing inventory But the work of the district’s housing program goes well beyond buying up more units but that’s not just purchases,” Woods Mitchell said “That’s the due diligence efforts the improvements we’re making to our existing units — I mean we have like multiple things we’re putting equal force to it’s not just acquisitions so there’s a lot of stamina required right now.” “Research mode and diligence mode,” Woods Mitchell said kwilliams@aspentimes.com News | Aug 14
