Developments
We are creating places where people want to live, now and in the future.
35,000 people live in a PCH home - that's around 14 per cent of the population of Plymouth. We own and manage 80 per cent of the housing association-owned homes in the city. We're about better homes, more homes and helping communities to thrive.
We do that by building new homes for rent and for shared ownership through SO Living; helping people invest in their own future.
We will build new affordable homes for future generations - to make sure that people have a decent place to live and access to the opportunities they deserve. In this way we are helping the residents of Plymouth have a better future.
Building new homes
We started building homes in 2011 and since then have delivered 335 new homes for rent and shared ownership. Over the next five years we will deliver 523 new homes. By 2020 we will have built 864 new homes for Plymouth at a cost of over £110m.
Working with stakeholders
We're a major stakeholder in Plymouth and we speak directly to residents about our proposed developments. We continue to work with organisations such as the Homes and Communities Agency and Plymouth City Council to get the best results for the people of Plymouth. PCH is part of Homes for the South West, a group of Chief Executives from some of the largest housing associations in the region.
North Prospect Travel Plan
As part of our regeneration of North Prospect, we have put together a travel plan to help provide residents with sustainable travel advice during the works. The plan, aimed at new and current residents of North Prospect, will enable residents to make use of public transport and reduce traffic on the estate's roads. You can read this on our Publications page.
Please see below some useful links to organisations which offer further information about travel options:
