Date Sent: July 02, 2026

Conclusion: Released In Full

Description: I formally request: 1. A full itemised breakdown of all Section 106 in lieu payments received from developments within 10 miles of WF9 2BD since June 2021, confirming the figures listed above are complete and accurate 2. Full details of exactly how and where each of these sums has been spent, and specifically confirmation of whether any has been used to deliver shared ownership, accessible or supported housing in South Elmsall, Hemsworth, Fitzwilliam, Pontefract, South Kirkby, Knottingley or surrounding villages 3. A clear explanation as to why not a single shared ownership home has been delivered locally in the last five years, despite these substantial contributions being received and the requirement for around 200 affordable family homes 4. What concrete steps the Council will take immediately to allocate these funds to deliver affordable/shared ownership housing in this locality, so families with complex needs can return and thrive, instead of using these funds to build flats in city centres that are not family friendly. 5. Confirmation of which housing providers are being engaged or commissioned to deliver the HOLD Scheme across this part of the district, and when properties are expected to become available
