- The Andium Homes Strategic Business Plan for 2016 – 2020 (see link below) outlines a target to deliver over 1,000 home completions.
The Strategic Business Plan outlines the following analysis of new build homes in the period to 2020:
| 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | Total |
Existing sites | 44 | 54 | 51 | 212 | 256 | 617 |
States-owned Sites | - | - | 40 | 87 | 40 | 167 |
New sites | - | - | 54 | 125 | 100 | 279 |
Total | 44 | 54 | 145 | 424 | 396 | 1,065 |
Gross new homes completions
In addition, a refurbishment programme is underway, with new refurbishment projects added as maintenance needs are identified through condition survey processes, with this being assessed annually and set out in each annual review of the Strategic Business Plan.
The Strategic Business Plan for 2016 – 2020 outlined the following in relation refurbishments, with Nicolle Close and Hampshire Gardens now complete, and Caesarea Court nearing completion:
PROJECT | UNITS REFURBISHED | PRACTICAL COMPLETION |
NICOLLE CLOSE | 20 | 2016 |

CAESAREA COURT | 52 | 2017 |
CONVENT COURT | 73 | 2018 |

The aim through these programmes is to achieve 100% compliance with the Decent Homes Standard over the period of the Plan, which is four years ahead of schedule and a commendable achievement which makes a real difference to people's quality of life.
- There is not a discernible distinction between social housing' and affordable housing' with a degree of interchangeability between the two terms. Instead, the main distinction made is between homes that homes for rental and homes for purchase.
- Andium Homes also plans to increase the supply of homes for purchase through its Homebuy scheme. The following from the Strategic Business Plan analyses this as follows:
| 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | Total |
Sales of existing properties | 20 | 25 | 25 | 25 | 25 | 120 |
New sites and intensification | - | 3 | 55 | 116 | 40 | 214 |
Total | 20 | 28 | 80 | 141 | 65 | 334 |
Sales per annum (Andium Homes Strategic Business Plan)
* of the 214 homes for sale to be delivered through new sites and intensification, 34 will be delivered through the intensification of existing sites, and 180 on new sites.
In summary, of the 1,065 units of accommodation that Andium Homes plans to deliver by 2020, 851 will be for rent and 214 for purchase (with the remainder available for purchase being existing properties).
