The Housing Department of Wealden District Council provides
a range of housing services.
The Housing Options Team provides housing advice and assistance,
and works to prevent homelessness in the District. It also maintains
a housing register, and manages choice-based lettings on behalf
of the Council.
Under the provisions of the Housing Acts, Wealden District Council
can provide assistance to private house owners towards the modernisation
or improvements (including some essential repair work) of older
or sub-standard dwellings.
Additionally, the Housing Department is responsible for local affordable
housing and, in partnership with a number of Housing Associations,
manages the supply of affordable housing in the district.
Extensive development has taken place in and around Hailsham since
1945 by private developers, with the northern part of the town now
largely developed right up to the boundary with Hellingly.
Wealden planning policies will result in further development in
and around Hailsham and Hellingly, together with increased local
infrastructure and services. These developments will add growth
to the town and should result in an expansion of its amenities.
(As to which see the Hailsham and Hellingly Masterplan on the Town
Council’s website)
