Revision of the Statement of Intent to improve delivery of ECO-3 LA Flex in Powys PDF 160 KB To consider a report by County Councillor Iain McIntosh, Portfolio Holder for Housing, Planning and Economic Regeneration. Additional documents:
Minutes: Cabinet considered a change in the Powys eligibility criteria for the ECO-3 LA Flex scheme to embrace a wider client group and increase take-up of the scheme. The main changes recommended to the Powys Statement of Intent were: · A means tested income cap of £34,500 for vulnerable applicants will be applied, which will make sure that the scheme targets a wider range of low-income households. The current cap is dependent on household size and does not differentiate by reference to vulnerability. · Income thresholds for adults without vulnerabilities are increased from £9,300 (net) to £14,000 (gross). This will be comparable to other Welsh authorities operating ECO-3 LA Flex and should avoid disadvantaging Powys residents compared to those living in other parts of Wales. · Remove vulnerability requirement for occupiers of properties with an ‘E’ rated Energy Performance Certificate.
Cabinet noted that there would be a review of the scheme by Warm Wales and asked for a report back on take up and whether the new income cap affected whether multi-generational households were able to apply and also, the amount of carbon being saved because of the scheme.
RESOLVED to adopt the revised Statement of Intent for the delivery of ECO-3 LA Flex by Warm Wales. |
