Development Update

The Association is always working on new developments and currently has 5 projects in the pipeline to follow on from Whiteparish development.  A total of 29 new homes.

6 homes in Codford to compliment the two completed projects in this village.

This project has full planning permission and we are in the process of acquiring the site.

4 homes in Corsley

This project has outline planning permission and we are in the process of acquiring the site.

5 homes in Maiden Bradley

7 homes in Shaw

A planning application has been submitted and we are in the process of acquiring the site.

7 homes in Easterton

This project is part of a larger development which has planning permission, subject to the developer

entering into a Section 106 agreement with the Council.

These are at various stages but all are hoped to be on site within the next two years.

The Association is always looking for additional opportunities to work with local communities to provide more homes and would like to hear from either Parish Council's or Landowner's who are interested in our work to email gill@wrha.co.uk

Development Funding

The changes to the way projects are funded by the Homes & Communities Agency has meant that the Association has entered into a development partnership with the New Futures Partnership led by the Aster Group in order to be able to access further grant funding. 

The Association will continue to work as it has done in the past and will carry out its own developments with the Aster Group bidding for grant and drawing down grant on our behalf through the New Futures Partnership.

 New Futures Partnership

New Futures partners work together on key initiatives that support the development of new homes including procurement, research, policy development and training.  New Futures is developing ‘Centres of Excellence and Expertise’ so that we can continue to be at the cutting edge of developing new homes and services to assist us in tackling complex projects.

In the National Affordable Housing Programme allocations for 2008/11.  New Futures has the second highest programme of new homes in the south-west for these two years.

Between them New Futures Partners own and manage over 26,000 homes, spend over £70 million on new developments and deliver around 800 new affordable homes a year.
