Our Development Programme

The NRA develops affordable homes in North London.

The NRA has successfully bid for funding through the 2011/15 Affordable Housing Programme. An allocation of £13.8 million will help us to provide 578 new affordable homes. We are actively working with our local authority partners to deliver this programme

In the 2008/2011 programme period the NRA exceeded its delivery targets and successfully secured over £106 million HCA funding for 1121 new homes: exceeding our Development Strategy target of 1,000 homes. We were able to achieve this by working closely together, bringing forward schemes where other sites were advancing more slowly and substituting schemes that had fallen victim to market turbulence.

Supporting Communities

We have an excellent track record of delivering high quality affordable homes which meet the diverse housing needs of our boroughs. We work closely with local authority partners, funders, and other stakeholders. We are proud of our strong local roots.

Driving Efficiency

Our development departments work closely together. We hold joint training sessions and best practice seminars: ensuring that our teams learn together in a cost effective way. We share resources and knowledge within the partnership to both strengthen the alliance and expand the knowledge base.

In 2006 we established a joint EU compliant framework for Contractors and Consultants. Our framework has delivered significant cost savings and greater partnership working. Our new Framework will ensure that we deliver our 2011/15 programme efficiently and effectively.

Supporting Apprenticeships

We are proud members of the Construction Training Initiative (CTI) led by Notting Hill Housing Trust. The apprenticeships are managed and structured so that a recognised qualification is obtained and give a real opportunity to our residents and other local people to start a career in the construction industry.
