East Suffolk Flexible Eligibility Statement of Intent - Criteria for “infill properties”
Published: 2 October 2017
Last updated: 2 February 2018
The property must be privately owned.
Solid Wall Insulation (SWI) is the only eligible measure.
The occupants of an infill property do not need to be in FP or LIVC but the following criteria must be met in that the property must be:
- in the same terrace as; or
- in an immediately adjacent building to; or
- in the same building as a household that does meet those criteria
- there must be the minimum % of properties in the block/ terrace for which WDC are signing a declaration see table below.
| Property type | Local authority declaration requirements | In-fill available |
|---|---|---|
| Project consisting of a pair of semi-detached houses or bungalows, or a building containing no more than two domestic premises. | At least one of the twoproperties must be declared by the LA as FP or LIVC (i.e. 50% of the properties are FP or LIVC). | The other private property to which it is directly adjoined is eligible for solid wall insulation. |
| Project consisting of any premises that are contained in the same building (eg flats), immediately adjacent buildings (eg neighbouring properties) or in the same terrace. | At least two in three properties on the list must be declared by the LA as FP or LIVC (i.e. at least 66% of the properties are FP or LIVC). | The other (i.e. up to one third) of private properties in the project are eligible for solid wall insulation, provided they are either in the same building, an immediately adjacent building or in the same terrace as the ones identified as FP or LIVC. |
The percentage requirement only relates to the portion of the properties covered by an LA declaration. So for example, if the LA declaration only covers 80% of a block of flats, then the 66% requirement applies to that 80% only, rather than to the whole block of flats.
Irrespective of whether the FP or LIVC properties receive any measures, the private in-fill properties listed on the declaration will be eligible to receive an SWI measure.
If any of the FP or LIVC properties named on the declaration are removed from a project for any reason, this will not invalidate the eligibility of any of the private properties identified as in-fill on the same declaration.
