πŸ₯ TEAM BRUNCH πŸ₯“

The team spent some of yesterday enjoying time to socialise and tuck into a delicious brunch in the Landstack office. We also took the opportunity to present our Technical Lead Dillon Smart with a little gift to celebrate his upcoming wedding! 🀡

The team took this opportunity to mingle with a strict rule of 'no work talk'! Safe to say the conversation was heavily focused on the Euros, with only 3 team members left in the sweepstake competition. Jos Pink, James Piatek and Bernard Nandwa! There will only be one winner.. πŸ‘‘


Accelerating Stalled Housing Sites

Today, Rt Hon Rachel Reeves announced that the government will create a task force to β€œaccelerate stalled housing sites in our country”, beginning with Liverpool Central Docks, Worcester Parkway, Northstowe, and Langley Sutton Coldfield, representing more than 14,000 homes.

Landstack has looked into detail at Worcestershire Parkway - follow this link (https://lnkd.in/e249Cnm4) to see what makes Worcester Parkway a great development site:

🚧 Constraints – The site doesn’t sit in any major constraints

πŸš† Key Transport Links – Located adjacent to Worcestershire Parkway Railway station with lines to London, Oxford and Cardiff

πŸ“Œ Draft Allocation – Worcestershire Parkway is draft allocated in the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review for 10,000 dwellings

πŸ”‹ Renewable Energy – the site will have sufficient local renewable energy to power the entire development for its lifetime

🏘 Affordable Housing – the site will have 40% affordable housing

🏑 Housing Need - a recent addendum to Wychavon's 5 Year Supply puts it at 2.78 years
