Independent Development Committee Members

We own and manage over 1500 homes in Croydon, Bromley, Sutton and Merton and currently have 105 homes which are either on site or contracted. A further 38 homes will complete our development programme to 2021. We have delivered some of our first shared ownership homes and they have been well received, the majority of which were sold off plan. We have established a new development company which will undertake for-profit sales to help us achieve our aim of developing more genuinely affordable homes overall.

We want everyone at ccha to feel they belong to an organisation that lives up to our vision of delivering on our promises.

• Give consideration to an overall strategy of not over-committing and maintaining flexibility to take on new opportunities as they arise, and assessment of exit strategies should the planned scheme prove not to be achievable.
