right to build
NaCSBA’s Right to Build Task Force announces first organisation to receive support
(NaCSBA)’s newly implemented Right to Build Task Force. The expert Task Force was launched in February with the aim of
L
helping local authorities, community groups and other organisations across the UK deliver large, affordable custom- and self-build housing projects. Buckinghamshire Advantage,
the operational arm of
Buckinghamshire Thames Valley Local Enterprise Partnership (BTVLEP), is promoting the Aylesbury Woodlands site on behalf of several pub- lic and private sector landowners. Its aim is to create a high quality, distinctive new neighbourhood – comprising some 1,100 new homes – as part of a wider mixed-use development to the east of Aylesbury. Aylesbury was chosen by the Government in January to become
one of three new Garden Towns – the Woodlands development will deliver the main part of Aylesbury’s new Enterprise Zone. The Task Force will be working alongside Buckinghamshire Advantage to help deliver a significant proportion of the 1,100 homes on a self- and custom-build basis. Richard Harrington, chief executive of BTVLEP said: “Within
Buckinghamshire Advantage’s 2016 planning application for the Woodlands site, we clearly signalled our intention to explore a sig- nificant custom- and self-build housing development. We are delighted to be working with the new Right to Build Task Force to help us identify the potential demand for custom- and self-build and ways to meet that demand.” Explaining the decision to support Buckinghamshire Advantage,
NaCSBA chair Michael Holmes commented: “With 18,000 people signing up to new local authority demand registers in just seven months last year including over 2,800 people in the neighbouring borough of Cherwell, we believe there is significant potential for cus- tom- and self-build housing in Aylesbury. The Task Force will be help- ing give Buckinghamshire Advantage the techniques to deliver cus- tom- and self-build by capitalising on both the UK and overseas experience of its experts.” The Task Force is funded by the Nationwide Foundation, which
aims to increase the availability of decent affordable homes for peo- ple in housing need. The Task Force was recognised by the Government in its recently published White Paper and is being sup- ported by a number of partners including the Building and Social Housing Foundations, National Housing Federations, Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors and the Royal Town Planning Institute.
