South England-based housebuilders, Thakeham, has signed a pre-construction services agreement (PCSA) with housing association, Thrive Homes, for a scheme in Winslow, Buckinghamshire.
The Land South of Buckingham Road scheme has outline planning permission to deliver a development of up to 60 homes with associated open space, landscaping, highway and drainage infrastructure. Thrive Homes envisages that the scheme will help local residents move into sustainable mixed tenure housing, with some homes available for rent and shared ownership.
Under this PCSA contract, Thakeham will submit a reserved matters application on behalf of Thrive Homes later this year. This is the first time that Thakeham has partnered with the housing association, which owns and manages nearly 6,000 homes across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Dan Cornelius, partnerships director at Thakeham, commented: “We look forward to submitting a reserved matters application for Land South of Buckingham Road on Thrive Homes’ behalf and believe this will be the start of a successful partnership between the two companies. There is a strong and urgent demand for new homes in Winslow, especially affordable housing, as there remains a significant shortfall in current and planned housing supply. That’s why we believe that this scheme offers a vital opportunity to support the local community and enable people to move into permanent housing.”
Chantelle Barker, development director at Thrive Homes, added: “This partnership with Thakeham marks an exciting step forward in our mission to deliver high-quality, affordable homes for those who need them most. We’re proud to be bringing forward a scheme that will provide much-needed housing in Winslow, catering to the variety of housing needs in the local community.”
