The North Solihull Partnership wins first prize at Homes and Communities Academy Awards
The North Solihull Partnership, a joint venture between the public and private sector, was awarded first prize in the 'New Ventures' category of the Homes and Communities Academy Awards, due to its outstanding results in the first four years of the regeneration project. The housing scheme has already completed 250 homes, two primary schools and 23 social rented units.
The prize was awarded, which was one of nine, on the 4th June 2009 at the Homes and Communities Acadeny Awards ceremony, the industry awards organised by the HCA Academy, the skills arm of the Homes and Communities Agency.
Comprising Solihull Council, investment company Inpartnership, housing association Whitefriars and house-builder Bellway, North Solihull partnership's aim is to regenerate deprived areas in Solihull, through an investment of £1.5 billion.
Thanks to the constitution of the partnership and the unique funding model, the 15-year strategy was able to be more flexible, enabling North Solihull Partnership to revise its objectives in line with the economic climate and bolstered its social housing developments.
