Merlin Housing Society Limited (Member of the Bromford Group) INITIAL DEMOLITION NOTICE HOUSING ACT 1985 as amended by the Housing Act 2004 NOTICE PURSUANT TO SCHEDULE 5A
22nd June 2022

Merlin Housing Society Limited ("the Landlord", Member of the Bromford Group) hereby gives notice of its intention to demolish house numbers 2, 4, 6 and 8 Withymead Road, Marshfield, SN14 8PA. This is to allow for the building of new homes as part of Bromford's Regeneration Programme.
The demolition of the relevant premises is required to secure the comprehensive redevelopment of Withymead Road, Marshfield. The reason for the demolition is due to the home's construction being non-traditional and within proximity to other similar properties that enables Bromford to undertake regeneration of the wider area.
It is the Landlords intention that the demolition of the relevant premises will be carried out within the period 22nd June 2022 and 21" June 2029. This Notice will remain in force up to and including 21st June 2029 unless revoked or otherwise terminated under or by virtue of paragraph 3 and 3A of Schedule 5A of the Housing Act 1985.
Whilst the notice remains in force, the Landlord will not be under any obligation to make a freehold transfer or lease under Section 138(1) of the Housing Act 1985 in respect of any claim to exercise the right to buy in respect of any dwelling-house that is contained in the relevant premises.
This Notice does not prevent the making of a claim under the right to buy or the taking of any steps under this part in connection with any such claim up to the point where section 138(1) would otherwise operate in relation to the claim or the operation of that provision in most circumstances where the notice ceases to be in force but if the Landlord subsequently serves a final demolition notice in respect of the relevant premises, the right to buy will not arise in respect of it while that notice is in force and any existing claim will cease to be effective.
There may be a right to compensation under Section 138C of the Housing Act 1985 in respect of certain expenditure incurred in respect of any existing claim to right to buy. Details of the right to compensation and how this may be exercised are set out in the attached notes (if applicable).
The operative date of this notice is 22nd June 2022, which is the date a copy of this notice was served on the tenants and occupiers of the properties at 2, 4, 6 and 8 Withymead Road, Marshfield.
