We’re travelling around the country visiting a new council each month, to discover what works and what needs to change so that Local Councils can maximise their contribution to the national ambition to build 1.5m new homes.
Our first featured council is Slough, where we met housing leads Pat Hayes and Neetal Rajput to talk about their work and careers. In this first episode, Pat reveals the factors behind Berkely Group’s hugely successful redevelopment of an old factory into the Horlicks Quarter. “The challenge now is to do more of this in Slough,” Hayes says. “This does show it works commercially, and works from the local authority’s point of view."
Providing over 500 new homes, rising to 1,300 with additional phases, including about 35% affordable, the scheme reimagines a much-loved local landmark and illustrates a number of important themes in housing delivery:
Partnership working between councils, RPs and developers
Crucial role of architects and what high-quality design looks like
Infrastructure provision and connectivity
Importance of long-term developer commitment
Catalytic impact of good development
Grant funding for affordable homes
…and more. Watch this video to understand why the council thinks so much of this scheme. And join the livestream on Friday 29th November 13:30-14:30 to share your comments and insights, and discuss how these ingredients for success might apply elsewhere.
