- Experience across significant, high-profile regeneration projects; Supporting housing co-ops and CLTs to take advantage of opportunities
- Sadly there is less Government grant available for affordable housing, limited availability of private finance and a general tightening of mortgage lending.
- Plus Dane has also been working with local residents for over 10 years in the Welsh Streets area of Liverpool. This area formed part of a Housing Market Renewal Area and had been scheduled for redevelopment some years ago. When funding for the HMRA was withdrawn the residents group worked with Plus Dane to design a £15 million scheme that would see 280 of the boarded up homes demolished, 37 properties renovated (including Ringo Starr’s birthplace) and 150 new houses. The plans have proved controversial and a public enquiry is due to be held soon but Plus Dane is convinced that the great majority of local residents are behind their plan.
- Plus Dane has historically supported many housing co-operatives and that tradition is continuing in Kirkby. Plus Dane is currently involved in a major town centre redevelopment scheme that will deliver 52 homes for Plus Dane and 19 homes for Cherryfield Co-operative. These newly built houses will rehouse residents from their homes in Cherryfield Drive that have been owned by the co-op since the mid-1980’s.
- Had been scheduled for clearance for 20 years, Group of 10 residents remained - residents have formed a very new CLT who have levered in funding from Nationwide and are currently applying to HLF CLT & Co-op refurbishing 15 units in total These will be through an asset transfer from LCC Plus have offered a development agency service to the CLT but issue of CLT retaining autonomy has prevented this. Mainly sit in a supporting role now as a source of advice and support. Marketing and communications of the area is very much being led by the CLT with resource assistance from other partners. Often negative connotations of being named a ‘Regeneration Zone’ so rather than signage, plans are communicated to residents during monthly market, drop in events and local press.
- Partners include Parish Council, Business Networks, GP Practice Participation Group, NHS England, Local Councillor, Landowners main project has so far accessed funding from the Local Authority to assist with the cost of setting up the CLT as a legal entity. The project will definitely be applying for the Community-Led Housing Project Support funding available from the HCA. met with the HCA to discuss the application process. In all of the projects we are supporting a crucial factor in their success has been the necessity for the project being genuinely community-led. This can sometimes be frustrating in terms of the pace of the development of the project but is ultimately hugely empowering for communities. Having a project dedicated to supporting CLT development has also been an important factor. Communities are reassured that they have a resource to access when they need specific information or support. The process of building homes (from beginning to end; planning to construction) is extremely complicated even for professionals working in the field, so for communities who are doing this in their spare time it is an enormous learning curve. As no two projects are the same, there is rarely an off-the-shelf solution to a problem they encounter and we are all learning and building knowledge as we go along. This sometimes is very daunting and can put people off being involved in a process where there is not always a clear route or defined path.
