Development strategy

Circle Anglia comprises a number of property-owning Registered Providers (RPs). Development activity within the group is carried out by Circle Anglia on behalf of these RPs with completed properties being passed over to be owned and managed by each RP member (group partner).

The purpose of this Strategy is to outline the approach Circle Anglia takes to development activity and where the group will look to develop for the forthcoming year.

Circle Anglia has, since its formation, been highly successful in terms of growth, both through the traditional development route and also through merger/ acquisition/ stock / transfer activity. These functions within the group dovetail to support one another and have allowed the group to not only increase the number of affordable housing within its area of operation, but also spread overhead costs and drive efficiencies and increase productivity through the Development function.

Part of the group’s driver for growth is set out in our slogan, "SO MUCH MORE", which informs our mission:

1. Great homes
2. Reliable services
3. Local solutions

This Development Strategy and our development activity support the realisation of this mission statement with new developments and acquisitions assisting the group to meet housing needs across all appropriate tenures. Circle Anglia’s Development Strategy is focussed to support group partners in promoting social cohesion and self dependence thereby contributing to the well being of the wider community.
