THE DELIVERY OF NEW,
AFFORDABLE HOMES IN
NORTHERN ENGLAND

We partner with landowners and local authorities/housing associations through a collaborative and strategic approach aimed at delivering successful affordable housing developments. Here’s how we typically engage with these key stakeholders:

1. Early Engagement and Consultation
Identifying Opportunities: Working closely with landowners from the outset to identify land with potential for development, particularly for affordable housing.

Consultation: We engage in detailed consultations with landowners to understand their objectives and constraints, ensuring that the development aligns with the landowner’s vision and goals.

2. Planning and Development Expertise
Navigating Planning Processes: We bring expertise in navigating complex planning processes, helping landowners secure planning permission that aligns with local housing needs and regulations.

Overcoming Challenges: For projects stuck in the planning stages EN:Able Build can offer solutions to reconfigure plans into viable affordable housing developments.

3. Collaboration with Local Authorities
Strategic Partnerships: We collaborate with local authorities to ensure that proposed developments meet local housing strategies and community needs.
Regulatory Compliance: We work closely with authorities to ensure that all regulatory requirements are met, facilitating smoother project approvals and reducing delays.

4. Project Management and Delivery
Coordinated Development: EN:Able  Build manages the entire pre-contract development process, coordinating between landowners, local authorities, housing associations, and other stakeholders to ensure timely and efficient project delivery.
Risk Management: We help landowners mitigate risks associated with development, such as financial, legal, and planning risks, by providing expert guidance and oversight throughout the project lifecycle.

5. Leveraging Networks
Access to Resources: Through their affiliation with Efficiency North’s network of Registered Providers of social housing, EN:Able Build connects landowners with developers, contractors, and funding opportunities necessary for project success.
Brokering Partnerships: EN:Able Build facilitates partnerships between landowners, developers, and housing associations, enabling collaborative efforts to bring affordable housing projects to fruition.

6. Maximising Land Value and Community Impact
Value Optimisation: By partnering with EN:Able Build, landowners can maximise the value of their land through well-planned and executed developments that meet market and community needs.
Community Benefits: EN:Able Build ensures that developments not only provide affordable housing but also contribute positively to the local community, addressing housing shortages and supporting local economic growth.

7. Long-Term Relationship Building
Sustained Collaboration: EN:Able Build seeks to build long-term relationships with landowners and local authorities, offering ongoing support for future projects and ensuring the sustainable development of communities across the North of England.
