The panel is requested to agree to transfer £77,843 from the Low Carbon Chichester District Fund to the Private Sector Renewal Budget for the Chichester Warm Homes Initiative. Decision: RECOMMENDED TO CABINET That the unspent balance of the Low Carbon Chichester District Fund be transferred to the Private Sector Renewal Budget for the Chichester Warm Homes Initiative. Minutes: Mrs Reed explained that the authority has undertaken a review of the condition of the housing stock in the district, and the results have indicated there is a high level of fuel poverty and cold homes in the central and northern areas of the district. A new Private Sector Renewal Housing Strategy has been developed to reducing these figures. Part of the strategy is a Chichester Warm Homes Initiative for landlords and homeowners to provide vulnerable residents with funding for heating systems and insulation when they are unable to access grants from energy companies or other sources. Mrs Lintill asked how the scheme fits with West Sussex County Council (WSCC). Mrs Reed explained that the WSCC have a short term scheme to identify vulnerable people who may require assistance. It is possible that some of these residents will be referred for Chichester Warm Homes Initiative funding. In reference to section 7.2 of the report Mrs Tull asked how Your Energy Sussex fit into the scheme. Mr Day explained that Your Energy Sussex were going to launch the Warm Homes Initiative but faced subsequent funding changes. Your Energy Sussex runs a Boiler Replacement Scheme and the Warms Homes Initiative money would provide a top up to this. Mr Curbishley asked how many homes have been affected. Mr Dunmall suggested around 7000. The Panel agreed this would be a worthwhile cause for the fund. RECOMMENDED TO CABINET That the unspent balance of the Low Carbon Chichester District Fund be transferred to the Private Sector Renewal Budget for the Chichester Warm Homes Initiative.
