The pipeline

▪ There are a range of development opportunities for bringing  forward housing supply. These include:  

▪ developing out schemes that already have planning  permission;  

▪ purchase and conversion of existing buildings (either  Council or privately owned);  

▪ bringing forward schemes on Council owned land;  

▪ purchase and development of purpose-built schemes  for Councils.  

▪ Each approach has its benefits and costs in terms of cost,  quality of product, and speed of delivery. 

▪ Critical will be the development of a model that works for the  specific Council and meets its needs and expectations.  

▪ The initial focus will be on: 

▪ Sites and Councils where Ecos Living has ownership /  control of a viable local asset of a scale likely to be  attractive to the Local Authority; 

▪ Sites that can readily be brought into use, either with  planning permission or where change of use and  conversion is possible in a short period; 

▪ Suitable distressed assets likely to come onto the  market. Private & Confidential 

▪ Over the medium term, where Ecos Living develops an in-depth understanding of the LA housing requirements, we would be interested in: 

▪ utilising Council land to bring forward schemes, and /  or;  

▪ acquiring schemes directly for Council use.
