MALMESBURY: Permission is wanted in principle for the development of a self-built home on undeveloped land adjacent to the property known as Marden House, onThompsons Hill, Sherston, Malmesbury.

The proposed development will seek to provide a new access off Thompsons Hill and will provide onsite parking to meet the needs of the future residents.

The planning documents say theplanning statement demonstrates that the development is "broadly in accordance with the Development Plan as a whole".

It adds: "The Council cannot currently demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, andthe application site can be developed without harming the character andappearance of the area.

"Only limited weight should be attributed to the conflict with the housing policies of the development plan, taking account of the housing shortfall, and if any harm is identified by the technical conflict with the settlement policies this would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole. The tilted balance clearly therefore indicates that the application should be approved."

MELKSHAM: An application has been submitted for the proposed conversion of an existing barn near Melksham to form a holiday let.

Little Thornham Farm is a private dwelling on Trowbridge Road, Seend.

The barns that form this application are made up of three linked structures, two of which are two storey and a third smaller single storey lean-to on the northern end.

The application says: "The property is no longer suitable for modern farming methods and has suffered some deterioration due to lack of use. There are signs of cracking, and the original chimney has been lost. The applicants and their family occupy the main farmhouse adjacent to the barns, and work on the surrounding farm. A family member occupies an adjacent annexe in an unlisted, converted barn."

It adds: "Simeon and Amy Plumb, the applicants, have lived in the property for many years, alongside extended family and are now raising the next generation at Little Thornham Farm. Evidently it has been, and is intended to be, a long-term home for the Plumb family. There is inevitably maintenance and repair matters to attend to, particularly with the older buildings which are no longer in regular use. Therefore this presents an opportunity to diversify this element of the farm to find a new use for these buildings to ensure that they remain viable and in use for future generations to enjoy."

NETTLETON: There are plans to convertNettleton Baptist Church into holiday accommodation.

The applicants saythe conversion or re-use of a heritage asset, in this case the church, would lead to its "viable long-term safeguarding".

The site is located in the open countryside where residential development is strictly controlled.

WARMINSTER:Plans have been submittedfor a new neighbourhood of "innovative modular homes" at Bore Hill Farm near Warminster.

The revised plans have been tabled byLegal & General Modular Homes, part of the UK financial services group.

It follows the withdrawal of a previous 2021 planning application for 95 new homes on thesite, to enable further work to be carried on the layout of the development.

The revised plan features 84 homes and the provision of more green open space including a play area, and measures to promote biodiversity, such as wildflower meadow and fruit trees.

EXTENSIONS: Applications have been lodged to build extensions to houses, or to build or convert outbuildings and lofts atFlorida House, Hardenhuish Lane, Chippenham;45 Stockwood Road, Chippenham; Silverdale, Cleverton, Chippenham;6 South Street, Corsham;48 Park Lane, Chippenham;33 Bremhill, Calne;31 Golden Road, Devizes;Bourne House, The Old Severalls, Milton Lilbourne, Pewsey;67 Hawkstreet, Bromham, Chippenham;Beech Cottage, Golding Avenue, Marlborough.

LAS VEGAS (KTNV)On any given night, over 5,000 people are living on the streets in Southern Nevada.

More than 10,000 will experience homelessness at some point each year.

13 Investigates continues with more on how a solution that's helped thousands of people in dozens of other cities has been rejected here in our valley.

PART ONE: Officials in Nevada demolish tiny homes built for homeless in Las Vegas

"I can put my belongings down. I'm safe," says Angela who's been homeless for several years. "I don't have to be around pimps. I don't have to be with dope pushers."

A roof over your head, a door you can lock, and a sense of safety is what advocates say is fundamental to breaking out of homelessness.

"Well, being homeless is a struggle," says Angela.

Many exist in constant survival mode.

"Homelessness itself is a full time job," says Erik de Buhr, co-founder of Community Supported Shelters in Eugene, Oregon.

"You have to think about where you're going to eat that day," de Buhr explains. "How are you going to clean your clothes? How are you going to move around your stuff? How are you going to protect your stuff? Where are you going to sleep? How are you going to rest?"

"And it's tough, you know, because you're treated like nothing in the streets," says Angela.

The idea of providing tiny shelters to the homeless isn't new. They've been doing it in Eugene, Oregon for nearly a decade.

"By providing for people a place--to have a locking, safe place where they can have some stuff and sleep," says de Buhr. "That eliminates a lot of the work of being homeless and people can start to get their head on straight and thinking about, 'Okay, What next steps can I take to improve my situation?'"

Eugene's first tiny home community was established in 2013.

And now from coast to coast, dozens of cities are embracing a variety of tiny home solutions.

There are numerous sites in the Los Angleles area. Denver has them too.

They're in Kansas City, Detroit and Nashville. Tampa, Florida and Syracuse, New York.

Pallet Shelter, one of several companies producing small modular homes, tells 13 Investigates they provided structures to 76 sites in over 40 cities.

There's even one in Reno but here in Clark County, on April 12th, the city of North Las Vegas bulldozed a group of tiny homes built on private property owned by Joseph Lankowski and his group, New Leaf. It's where Angela, Savage and Allen were beginning to rebuild their lives.

"It was a blessing. It was a blessing," says Angela.Darcy Spears: "What did it mean to you to have this opportunity? What did it represent for you looking forward in your life?"

Angela: "For one, achievement. Being human. And loved."

The destruction cost them the key things they need to get out of homelessness.

"Social Security card, birth certificate. It took me forever to get these things," says Savage.

There was no complaint filed by nearby residents or businesses. Code enforcement took action after a city employee saw a fence made from recycled pallets and reported it.

North Las Vegas code enforcement officials got a warrant that gave them the go-ahead to, "remove, demolish and dispose of all non-permitted or deteriorated structures" according to a warrant signed by a judge.

North Las Vegas declined multiple requests for an on-camera interview, providing a statement instead

"We had first aid kits. We had water," Angela says. "They were going to install showers."

Lankowski says he tried to find the process for zoning and permits.

"And we ran into a dead end because there is no zoning," Lankowski says. "There is no zoning for what we're trying to do."

With donated materials, he and his group of volunteers decided to build first, ask forgiveness later.

"The need is just too great out here," says Lankowksi.

He was hit with several code violations in April of this year, saying his group was fixing some and appealing others. The group was expecting due process but getting demolition instead.

"I'm angry! I'm hurt! Mad. It's sad," says Angela. "The whole damn thing is just sad. You take us from something and put us back. It's just sad."

Having consulted with Community Supported Shelters in Eugene, Lankowski thought North Las Vegas would see he could make something similar work for the homeless here.

"Walls, roof, carpeting," says Allen. "Everything was right. It was right."

13 Investigates talked with the Mayor of Eugene, Lucy Vinis. She says tiny home sites there haven't blown up into shanty towns or became a major safety problem.

"The opposite has been the result because we've made a commitment as a city to invest in the facilities that we need in order to enable these to be safe places," says Mayor Vinis.

An investment mayor vinis says actually saves tax dollars.

"Just health cost alone, just visits to the emergency room alone," says Mayor Vinis. "When you consider the costs of public safety."

And there is cost for public works to clean up encampments.

"We have to make those investments now because the costs just keep building," Mayor Vinis explains. "It doesn't go away."

Mayor Vinis says it's also a huge relief for law enforcement.

"This is absolutely what our police department wants," says Mayor Vinis. "These sites, once they're established, they're clean, they're safe, they're well managed. There is no negative impact on the community at all."

It's important to note, officials here tell us the city's homeless outreach team has connected with Angela, Savage and Allen.

"All they give you is bullsh*t. Excuse my language," says Angela.

Angela is beyond frustrated with the seemingly endless wait for real help and approval for housing.

"We're going to put you on this list and we're going to go and check on you. But it's always pending," Angela explains. "They give you a granola bar and a bottle of water and just, 'Have a nice day,' you know."

Advocates say that points to the overall problem of how homelessness is approached in the valley.

Darcy Spears: "They need a leg up to be more productive citizens. And it sounds like the city cut that leg off at the knee."

Lankowski: "Absolutely. You know, they need a....not a handout, but a hand up. And that's what we're trying to do is help lift them up. And what the local government's approach is, unfortunately, is kicking people while they're down, you know, by criminalizing homelessness, making it illegal to be homeless."

No one expects tiny homes to be the solution for everyone who is homeless. It's just one piece in a mosaic.

"It's not just a hope and a prayer," says Mayor Vinis. "It is confidence in human beings, that if you give them an opportunity and you support them, they can begin to build a better life for themselves."

A message the folks who briefly lived here hope our city will take to heart.

"We had so many dreams and opportunities and plans," says Angela. "And they just took it like, you know, we are trash. And that's how I feel they they they're treating us... like we're trash and we don't deserve to have a place to live."

In addition to North Las Vegas, we reached out to the City of Las Vegas and NDOT. Both were involved with destruction of shelters near I-15.

NDOT provided the following statement:

The decision to pursue this abatement was intended to ensure the safety and welfare of both the homeless and surrounding community due to significant biohazard concerns, including bodily waste, debris and intravenous drug paraphernalia accumulating inside drainage channels that feed into the Las Vegas Wash.

Other concerns included potential pedestrian-vehicle hazards from crossing the interstate, walking alongside the shoulder and/or encamping within the Union Pacific Railroad corridor, as well as obstructed driver sightlines.

We will continue to work with government and community partners to ensure that any necessary clean-up efforts are conducted responsibly.

City of Las Vegas provided this statement:

We also reached out to elected officials who say this is an opportunity to find a process to make this work in Clark County.

Dozens of cities embrace tiny homes for the homeless; officials in Southern Nevada bulldoze them - KTNV 13 Action News Las Vegas

Jessica Anuroff'sgreentarp tent still stands on East Hastings Streeta week after the City of Vancouver ordered the cleanup of sidewalks along several city blocks of the Downtown Eastside.

But home feels different.She says most of her belongings were taken by city staff and she faces increasing uncertainty about where to go next.

"Where else do they want us to go?" said Anuroff."I'm just mainly tired and exhausted from everything."

In July, Vancouver's fire department ordered the immediate removal of tents and structures along East Hastings due to "numerous urgent safety concerns."

Last week, city staff began the process of removing tents and other structures, forcing dozens of people living in the area to move without other housingand shelter options.

Anuroff says she has little choice but to stay put, while othersin the homeless community say those who were displaced are returning because they havenowhere to go.

While the city saidthe cleanup was needed for the safety of residents, advocates say they disagree with its approach because it isbreaking apart the community anddriving people into isolation and more alternative housing optionsare needed.

Since the start of the tent removal,at least one or two people are showing up every day at the Bloom Group Community Services Society, which offers housing support for residents in the Downtown Eastside

But there is no space for them,executive director Elizabeth Barnett says.

"We are doing our best to support folks, but if the programs are full there's not really anywhere people can go," saidBarnett, adding that she feels disappointed and angry with how the city has dealt with the encampment.

"I've noticed more people in the alleys, in darker corners, people on their own, more than I've seen before," she said.

Advocates worrythe displacement means more people will use potentially toxic drugs alone.

"They have nowhere to go. So they're going to be in alleyways using alone and increasing exponentially the chance of death," said Vince Tao, a community organizer with theVancouver Area Network of Drug Users support group.

Tao said without sufficienthousing, "they're just going to move right back right to the same place the next day, or just down the block."

He said the only solution to the issue is more housing options.

According to the city's website, since 2019more than 550 social and supportive homes have opened in Vancouver which provideaffordable housing and connections to off-site services such ashealth care, mental health, or substance use services.

The city says its also working with B.C. Housing to createapproximately 350 new permanent supportive homes.

Permanent shelters and temporary modular homesalso exist to provide relief to hundreds of people living without a home, according to the website.

But there'snot enough space to help the people who have just been displaced from East Hastings, Barnett said.

"Right now, you sort of have three choices: you couch surf until you can't anymore;you live in subsidized housing if you can get in; or you live on the street. There's not enough choices there," she said.

The condition of some housing options like single-room occupancy hotels (SROs) and shelters makes it preferable for some to sleep on the streets, saysLorissa Thordarson, who lives rough in the East Hastings area.

"The buildings are disgusting.They're riddled with bugs, or rats I don't want to live in something like that," she said.

When CBC News asked the City of Vancouver where it expects displaced people to go, a spokesperson saidstaff are in daily conversations with B.C.Housing to advocate for housing and shelter needs.

"City staff have been encouraging and supporting voluntary removal of tents and belongings, and regularly sharing information in person with those sheltering outdoors," an email statement said.

It said the city's outreach team is also working with B.C. Housing to bring forward people to be considered for housing.

In a previous statement to CBC News, B.C. Housing said it does not have the spaces necessary to provide shelter for people who are being displaced in the Downtown Eastside.

"We have been clear with the City of Vancouver and Vancouver Fire Rescue Services that, on short notice, we do not have access to large numbers of new spaces in Vancouver to accommodate the timing of the emergency order," it said.

Barnettsays she'd like the city to embrace a wider range of housing alternatives such as a campground andmore harm reduction facilities, as well as subsidies for landlords to support people.

In the short term, she says she'd like to see police team up with mental health and social workers when officers are sent into the community.

And in the meantime, she emphasizes the need for compassion.

"You can't deprive people of this community they built with no other option. It's just illogical," she said.

The city did not specify if it plans to remove tents that have remained or reappeared on East Hastings.

Once youve successfully transitioned from an apartment to a house, you may find that all your belongings fit into one room. In most cases, moving to a house will bring more space and more rooms to furnish. Theres also home maintenance and yard work to consider.

You wont regret creating a thoughtful organization plan from the start. From cabinets and pantries to bedroom and linen closets, storage bins and baskets can help you stay organized. Get started with these plastic containers from Amazon, rated the best overall in our guide to the best storage bins for getting organized. Available in seven different sizes to accommodate a range of storage needs, these bins are both stackable and versatile.

When your square footage increases, so does your floor space. Covering floors and even plain carpeting with accent rugs is a simple way to make your home more attractive and comfortable. Not sure where to find the best area rugs for your home? Try one of our reviewed and recommended selections, such as the Flourish Rug from West Elm, which we love for its sustainable construction and attractive design.

These cordless, darkening blinds from Home Decorators Collection topped our list of the best blinds of 2022 due to their faux wood design and versatility, with sizes available to suit any room.

Try Behrs color of the year, Breezeway, for your next project. The sage green color is both cheerful and relaxing.

Greenworks Self-Propelled Lawn Mower will make the job simple. It tops our list of the best push mowers for its cutting deck size, self-propulsion, battery power, oversized wheels, push-button start, storage, and adjustable height.

At the top of our list of recommended tool kits, the Black + Decker 8V Drill and Home Tool Kit includes all these items and more to make assembly and repairs a cinch.

More square footage means more rooms to clean. Investing in some cleaning tools from the outset will start you off on the right foot. If theres one tool that is sure to make your life easier, its the Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum. In fact, I described it as the most useful cleaning tool I own, in this review. If you generally hate vacuuming, the V8 is a must-have. The cordless lightweight option is small enough to tuck away in a closet, but powerful enough to clean your whole house. We think its a worthwhile investment, especially for homes where food crumbs and pet hair make a regular appearance.

Modular Homes Market Growing Popularity and Emerging Trends in the Market KSU | The Sentinel Newspaper - KSU | The Sentinel Newspaper

in collaboration with aylott & van tromp, koto design unveils its latest cabin concept called hytte. developed in reaction to the current uncertainty of travel, and the need for more sustainable modes of tourism, the sculptural cabins offer the perfect retreat for travelers looking to escape into nature.

images by merge visualisation

koto who specializes in modular homes, cabins, and small sculptural buildings provided all the architectural design on the project while aylott & van tromp curated the branding and cozy interiors. kotos clean and simple design captures a minimalist nordic aesthetic and in fact, hytte actually means cabin in norwegian. blackened timber on the elevations and roofs help blend the structures into the surroundings and the interiors are characterized by natural, earthy tones. each cabin features a spacious kitchen, living space and sleeping area with a shower room tucked away at the rear.

the idea behind the project is to provide clients with flexibility. each solution starts with one unit, then developers can decide to scale up to create a small, village-like community. in this way, hytte is perfect for big or small commercial ventures. the cabins are aimed towards socially- and environmentally-conscious consumers, who are looking to get away closer to home while still enjoying a dose of relaxation and escapism.

hytte is seeking ambitious partners to disrupt the current hospitality and tourism accommodation model from existing hotel brands to new start-up ventures, says nathan aylott, co-founder of hytte and aylott & van tromp.

aylott continues, the design for us wasnt purely aesthetics, all about its looks, for us it was about providing both client and consumer with something a little bit different in these strange times. on the client front, the ability to harness a site or landscape with minimal fuss, creating an additional revenue stream and complete flexibility was always in our minds. yet with the customer, we wanted to provide a sense of design led escapism and comfort that retains a raw feeling, the lovely paired back quality that comes from camping in the wild or being close to nature.

The planning board committee for Tignish have been tasked with coming up with a recommendation to council on how to amend the towns bylaws when it comes to modular homes.

But finding the right terminology to amend the bylaw hasnt been easy.

Debbie Fennessey, the town councillor who chairs the board, has been scouring the Internet, researching other jurisdictions, to see if other places have done something similar but with no luck.

Everything is the same, its mobile homes, but if you look at their bylaws, theyre all 10, 11, 12 years old, she said. Nobodys got any updated bylaws.

Modular homes consist of several components that are built in a factory setting and then assembled on-site to create a new home. A mobile home is a prefabricated structure, built in a factory on a permanently attached chassis before being transported to a site.

Currently, Tignishs bylaws dont allow for mobile homes to be set-up within the town limits. Nor is there anything in the bylaws about modular homes. But in recent months, the town has received requests from people wanting to build modular homes, prompting council to look at amending their bylaws and set up guidelines around modular homes being built in Tignish.

Mayor Allan McInnis asked Coun. Fennessey at the towns council meeting on Feb. 8 on what was the hold up with the boards recommendation.

Why didnt you have some information, because I thought we would have enough to make a decision here tonight and look after the bylaws for modular homes, he asked her.

The mayor said hes aware of at least five people who want to construct modular homes in the town.

I know and Im looking online to see if I can find something that would be suitable for us, but I cant find anything, so were just going to have to come up with something, explained Ms Fennessey. Theres seven places Ive checked, and its not just PEI, its the Maritimes and out west, trying to find something we could follow and I cant find anything.

The mayor said the planning board should have something for council to consider at their next monthly meeting in March.

So we can get on this, so if someone decides they want to put a modular home in the town, we have it ready for the spring, he said. We want to build up the community as much as we can and thats what all this is about. We have to get this here established now.

The rest is here:

It is the little towns that will suffer over this, taxi driver Stephen Smith says of the Ulster Bank decision to pull out of the Republic of Ireland.

He and other traders in Ballyjamesduff, Co Cavan, had hoped the presence of three big employers Liffey Meats, Cavan Box and Modular Homes Ireland along with Ballyjamesduff Mart, would ensure the last bank standing in the town would remain open.

You can see the queue for the bank right down the street, says Smith. There are a lot of people from a 10km radius who come to this town to shop. They come from Cross Keys, Mount Nugent and Kilnaleck and visit the bank. If it closes, the nearest would be Cavan or Oldcastle.

Bank of Ireland closed its branch in Kilnaleck a few years ago and the impact on the town was hard, he says. It is all the small towns that suffer.

Smiths brother Trevor, a local councillor, agrees: Small towns are on a knife edge.

The bank plays a pivotal role in the town, he says. People come into town and they maybe pick up their pension and pay a few bills and spend a bit of money.

The fear is that once they have to go somewhere else for a bank, they will get their other needs there too.

While the town knew for some time that Ulster Bank was considering such a move, Cllr Smith says a decision to add a lodgement facility to the cash dispenser last year had given townspeople some hope that the branch had a future.

Maybe somebody else will buy it. Ulster Bank may sell the branch network. There are a few big businesses here, he says.

Ulster Bank previously rationalised its branch network in 2015, announcing the closure of branches in 14 locations, mainly rural. One of those was Ferbane in Co Offaly, where 1,000 people marched behind a coffin through the town in protest.

Pat OCallaghan, who runs the Ferbane Centra store, says the community had negotiated something of a settlement with the bank.

We wanted the building to be bought by a company who would run a business from there and we were lucky that it was sold to an accountancy firm with nine of 10 staff, he says.

Not having a bank in the village was a blow, he says, but they have worked around it. The local post office is still open and traders in the town can make bank lodgements there.

There is also a local credit union that provides electronic funds transfers and they do commercial loans now too, OCallaghan says.

He says his store has a cash machine through which his shop can recycle cash lodging takings which can then be withdrawn by others and the money is in our bank the next day.

Brian Flynn, who also took part in the protest, says younger people find it easier to manage online without a physical bank, but for some people, visiting the bank was an opportunity to get out and a highlight of the day. He says he feels sorry for staff who were told as late as Thursday night that no decision on the closure had been taken.

Samus Boland of Irish Rural Link says the organisation had been in discussion with the Government for about five years and had brought forward two papers on opening community-owned banks, in line with German models.

We looked at one model in particular that would involve the credit union movement, which has a lot of money on deposit and wants to actively lend.

That would require legislation, he says.
