DEVELOPMENTS

We aspire to create a new property for each property we buy. This is our aspirational target in order that we might be contributing to the housing crisis. We dream of ending homelessness. We mainly buy property from the open market, however, there isn’t enough existing property in the UK for the amount of people. We will create properties via new builds or conversions. Options are to buy a site, obtain planning approval for new dwellings and sell the site allowing a developer to build the properties. Alternatively we may develop the properties ourselves. Additionally we may be the developer of new property for a site that we don’t own. Whilst creating homes is our aspiration, we will also consider commercial and church buildings if relevant to the particular project. To date developments have included 67 dwellings and a church. Development costs have been between £100,000 and £10m. Please see our developments below.

ROCKMOUNT HOUSE

Plumstead, Greenwich

6 Flats

expected COMPletion

COMPLETED

May 2009

Green Pastures' first new build project houses 8 people who were at risk of homelessness in these 6 flats. Since 2009 Green Pastures has collaborated with Greenwich council to allocate tenants to the properties and to provide support where required.

The building has been designed to a high standard providing Code 3 energy efficient homes. This has a significant positive impact on their monthly bills.

We also constructed two 3-bed houses either side of the flats that were sold on the open market.
