Houses and Apartments for Sale, Shared Ownership and Rent across Staffordshire as part of a joint venture partnership.

The Ascent Programme was a JV between Moorlands Housing and SMDC and was formed to provide affordable housing to address the local housing needs. As part of the delivery of the overall target numbers, a key part of the joint venture was to develop around 55 units for shared Ownership and Outright Sale. The monies generated from the sales of these units helped to cross subsidize and ultimately increase the numbers of affordable units that were developed as part of the programme. A total of 16 sites were developed and these were mainly all for Housing. Also included was a new Community Centre, Supported Care Facilities, Areas of Public open spaces.

Sites were arranged to reinforce the current existing street scene and promote natural surveillance over areas of new and existing open space and several Children’s Play area have been incorporated as part of the scheme.
