The story of Stockland Green

Stockland Green is a north Birmingham neighbourhood close to Castle Vale. It has a mixture of house types, most of them traditionally in owner-occupation. Some years ago, the area began to experience a rise in poor quality and badly managed private renting, with some larger houses being divided for letting as housing in multiple occupation (HMOs).

In 2012, Stockland Green Opportunities Housing & Training (SGOHT) was formed in response to these trends and the damaging impact that they were having on the wider neighbourhood. With the strong support of local Ward Members, CVCHA (now the Pioneer Group) was enlisted to help.

Initially, Pioneer intervened in the local housing market on behalf of SGOHT – acquiring 10 especially problematic properties – renovating and re-letting them as a good and conscientious landlord. Subsequently, Pioneer supported the Stockland Green group on governance, strengthening it, such that it defined, measured and enacted its objectives and became genuinely accountable to local people.

Following the initial “emergency acquisitions”, Pioneer commissioned LocalGrowth – its consultancy partner – to prepare a detailed Neighbourhood Diagnostic. This was the basis for a subsequent SGOHT Neighbourhood Business Plan and gave the Pioneer Housing & Community Group Board the confidence to support SGOHT by investing further in their patch.

SGOHT formally became a member of the Pioneer Group in the summer of 2015. The nature of the relationship between Pioneer and SGOHT now is that the SGHOT Board oversees the implementation of the Neighbourhood Business Plan, assures the continued support and participation of residents and develops suitable management, allocations and maintenance policies.

Together, sites and properties are identified for acquisition. The Pioneer Group undertakes improvements to an agreed quality standard and then applies SGOHT’s local lettings policy – by letting them to suitable tenants. Any surplus is used by SGOHT to address local priorities – such as skills and training, eyesore sites and resident engagement.
