FCHO Consultant Framework Agreement
FCHO and their development company New Living Homes have an ambitious development programme to deliver a minimum of 800 units by 2020 (200 of which are already under construction) and secure a pipeline of land for a forward programme to be delivered over the next 5 years.
Sites will be of all tenures and mostly be situated within the Borough of Oldham. However, where good opportunities are present, development activity will move outside of the Borough, particularly for sites containing open market sale properties.
Sites will range in size and nature; however the challenging conditions and topography surrounding the area will most likely be present on most sites. The programme will contain a range of property types to meet the needs of the market; these will wherever possible be developed from standard house types.
The programme will contain a mix of tenures, incorporating social rent, affordable rent, PRS, shared ownership, rent to buy and outright sale.
