We have been working closely with Home Group on the regeneration of the Woodhouse Estate since 2006.  This has included master-planning, refurbishment of existing housing stock, external works improvement projects, and new building dwellings to provide a more inclusive mix of residential accommodation across the estate.  We have assisted in a comprehensive process of consultations with local residents, councillors, police, community workers and healthcare professionals to ensure that the regeneration meets the needs and expectations of the community.  Currently we are working on the next phase to deliver 40 new bungalows on the estate.

“I was really impressed with what I saw …it is a fantastic scheme.  It is a much-needed development for the area, so it is great to see that it has been so well received by local people”.  Robert Napier, Chairman of the Homes and Communities Agency
