Building new homes
Raven has an active development programme aimed at building and acquiring 500 new homes by 2014. To achieve this we aim to:
- develop homes on land we own
- develop homes on land brought from private owners, local authorities and other public bodies
- work with developers where there is a planning requirement to provide affordable housing
- secure Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and other funding
- work with local councils and other key stakeholders including residents and tenants to identify housing need and the right solutions for a particular area
We aim for excellence in our developments by:
- developing good quality homes that offer value for money
- are homes our residents are proud to live in and meet their needs and aspirations
- are sustainable and cost effective in terms of their management and maintenance
- meet the aspirations of our colleagues in other teams
- are built sensitively have regard to neighbourhoods in which we are building
- have minimal defects.
Since our formation in 2002, we have built or acquired more than 309 new homes and have over 100 more homes in our current build programme.
Raven have a further 500 developments in its pipeline programme.
