£42.5 million new homes development programme announced by GreenSquare

GreenSquare, one of the UK’s leading residential developers, has just unveiled a £42.5 million new homes development programme in West Oxfordshire, that will see the development of 269 new homes for rent, sale, and shared ownership, supported by around £6m investment from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA).

According to a news report in the local media, the development projects are spread across nine sites in the district and also include extra care housing schemes for older people at Witney and Milton-under-Wychwood.

Fernleigh, at Station Lane in Witney, and The Wychwoods, at Green Lane in Milton-under-Wychwood, are developments of apartments for people aged 55 and above, with support services available and tailored to suit individual needs. Commonly known as extra care, these developments are part of a modern housing initiative designed to offer independent living with optional on site care and facilities such as a cafe, hairdressers and activity rooms – all in luxurious, beautifully-designed surroundings.

Howard Toplis, GreenSquare’s chief executive, said: “GreenSquare has a long history of working in Oxfordshire, with the origins of our local housing association dating back to the late nineteenth century and around 3000 homes in the county today. In particular we’re excited to be working with our local authority partners and the HCA to deliver these extra care schemes for older people. These brilliant developments will help people aged 55 or above, who need a little extra help, to continue to live independently in their own home.”

Quite obviously, such an extensive development scheme is likely to include a very large number of subcontractors, and managing such a large number of employees might prove to be a fairly difficult process.
