Cruden gets go-ahead for stalled Rochdale housing scheme
A £14m extra care housing development in Rochdale, put on hold because of the government’s proposal to cap benefits, has now been resurrected.Housing association Riverside and Rochdale Borough Council had been working on plans for the 88 unit extra care scheme for over-55s and 10 shared ownership bungalows in Langley, when ministers announced plans to cap the amount of housing benefit people in supported housing could receive.The project was one of many similar schemes that were put on hold in 2015 amid concerns that the cuts would have meant a 25% shortfall in benefits for residents to cover their rent and service charges.The government changed its plans last year for people living in schemes including extra care and Riverside’s scheme has now been revived.
