How we will meet our
Corporate Objectives
Meeting Need
< New homes
To support our own ambitions and those of government, we will build
new affordable homes across Birmingham, the Black Country and the
surrounding areas, many of which will be architecturally designed by
Indesign, manufactured at the LoCaL Homes timber frame factory and
constructed by our in-house team; this provides a 15% reduction in
construction time compared to brick builds. The homes have high levels
of energy efficiency thus reducing fuel costs for our customers. We shall
also explore part-ownership and sale products, using surplus generated
to reinvest in core products and services and further expand our in-house
construction team to drive down the cost of building homes.
Over the next four years we will continue to invest substantially in
delivering regeneration schemes to change old urban landscapes to
provide opportunities and choice for local communities - for example the
award-winning Urban 180 scheme in the centre of West Bromwich, which
is contributing high quality, well-designed affordable homes to the town
centre wide regeneration initiative. We will also continue to work directly
with local communities to help shape neighbourhoods in which people
want to live.
Delivery:

homes for Accord and for development partners as per the Group’s
Financial Plan
n Consider wider strategic partnerships and alliances within the
public and private sectors
n Seek to support organisations and respond to opportunities where
organisations may be seeking to transfer stock/services if these
meet the Group’s growth ambitions and core purpose and in line
with the Regulator’s guidance
