Developing homes

We aim to provide homes that people want to live in, both existing homes and new homes.

Our development programme provides between 200-250 new homes each year and includes affordable homes for rent, shared ownership and sale.

Where are our developments?

Our developments stretch across a wide area from Hampshire and Dorset in the south, through Wiltshire and Somerset, and to Gloucestershire and Herefordshire in the north. To see a map of our area click on the Where we work link top left.

Our current programme focusses on regenerating key urban areas, as well as affordable homes on large-scale new developments and providing sustainable homes for people who want to live in rural areas.

Partnering

With an excellent reputation for development, we have approved strategic partner status from key regional local authorities, including the Homes West (West of England) partnership. We are a member of the Partnership South West investment partnership for bidding for grant from the HCA (Homes and Communities Agency), formerly the Housing Corporation.

By working together with local authorities and major developers we're able to provide homes that meet the needs of local people.

As a result of our good practices and performance, we act as a development agency for a number of smaller Housing Associations in the south west, such as SHAL Housing Ltd, Bristol Community Housing Foundation, and Alliance Homes. Click the links on the left for more information.

Improving our service

We work in partnership with a number of external agencies to provide affordable homes that are of a high standard. Following on from our Client Charter status, we are now working to the 2012 Construction Commitments for affordable housing to ensure the continuing improvement of the service.

Homes for the future

As well as building homes that are energy efficient and affordable to live in, we use designs and construction processes that incorporate suitable materials. This process not only reduces waste, but lessens the impact of our homes on the environment.

Our developments

We've completed a range of developments across the south west and we work with local partners and contractors to build homes for rent and sale.

Land wanted

We're always on the look out for opportunities to acquire land and property to provide future homes. And with almost thirty years of experience we can use our expertise and knowledge to develop projects and work in partnership with other housing developers and local authorities.
