CASE STUDY: Measuring the placemaking impacts of housing-led regeneration
18.09.23 3 min read
Salford Central is featured as case study in Homes England’s latest report ‘Measuring the placemaking impacts of housing-led regeneration’.
As part of our joint venture, ECF, we work in close partnership with Homes England, along with Legal & General, delivering long-term, place-based regeneration across the UK.
Within their new Strategic Plan, Homes England have set themselves the mission of driving regeneration and housing delivery, to create high-quality homes and thriving places.
As part of this approach, Homes England has published a ‘Measuring Social Impact’ report, with the first paper focussing on ‘Measuring the placemaking impacts of housing-led regeneration’.
The report is the first of a suite of documents and guidance they will be publishing over the coming year, setting out the findings of their research programme. It demonstrates the significant wider benefits housing-led regeneration can create and, importantly, enables the inclusion of these benefits within project and programme Benefit Cost Ratios.
Extensive case study evidence demonstrates the positive external impacts of housing-led development, and we’re proud that Salford Central, an ECF project, has been featured in the report.
