Housing Development - Affordable Housing
Weedon Hill/Buckingham Park
AVDC works with its preferred Housing Association Partners or RSLs to deliver affordable housing in the district. AVDC's current preferred partner group was selected early 2009 and consists of :-
Sanctuary
Paradigm
Sovereign
Hightown Praetorian Churches
Sovereign
Guinness Partnership
Catalyst Housing Group
Aldwyck
The council, in partnership with its partner RSLs, has delivered and continues to deliver new developments right across the district and we have secured grant funding from the government to assist in delivering these schemes. Our partner RSLs have been chosen because of their expertise in development, high standards of design and specification, partnership working, resident and community involvement and management skills. Since 2008, working with the Homes and Communities Agency, we have been successful in delivering 757 homes for rent, shared ownership, key worker and supported housing and attracted £37m in grant funding. The Housing Development Team, who are responsible for affordable housing development in the district work closely with the Planning department to ensure homes are built in the right areas of the district.
