How the rules work in Rhosllannerchrugog
Housing associations and councils planning new homes in Rhosllannerchrugog work within Welsh rules: grant comes from the Welsh Government's Social Housing Grant, tenants usually hold secure occupation contracts under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, and social landlords are registered and regulated by the Welsh Ministers. Land to Homes can supply land with or without planning, or build homes for transfer to a social landlord on completion.
In Wales, councils and registered social landlords regulated by the Welsh Government deliver most affordable homes, supported by Social Housing Grant. Affordable homes are secured through Section 106 agreements, homes funded by grant are usually built to the Welsh Development Quality Requirements, and most new developments need sustainable drainage approval from the SuDS approving body.

Common questions in Rhosllannerchrugog
How do council land disposals work?
When a council sells or leases land for housing, it usually has legal duties around obtaining value and must follow its own disposal and procurement rules. Disposals may be marketed openly, offered through a development partner process or tendered. Land to Homes responds to opportunities where the terms suit, following the process the council sets.
What is a land-led scheme?
A land-led scheme is one where land is secured and a scheme is planned around a provider's needs, rather than the provider buying a share of homes within a market-led development. It can allow a higher proportion of affordable homes, or a fully affordable scheme, where planning policy and funding support it.
What are Section 106 affordable homes?
They are affordable homes a developer must provide under a Section 106 agreement attached to a planning permission in England or Wales. The agreement sets the number, tenure and often the transfer terms, and the homes are usually sold to a registered provider. Scotland uses Section 75 agreements and Northern Ireland uses Section 76 agreements for similar purposes.
Who applies for grant funding for affordable homes?
Usually the housing association or council, because public grant for affordable housing is normally paid to them under programmes run by Homes England, the Greater London Authority, the Welsh Government, the Scottish Government or, in Northern Ireland, the Housing Executive's Social Housing Development Programme. We plan schemes with the relevant funding conditions in mind.
