Key Stages The initial members come together with an idea; or a local authority / enabling developer decides they want to do something – who develops the vision? Building the group Getting the right advice – where do we go? Visiting existing schemes Building the development partnership Scoping the development proposal Agreeing the legal structure Getting the finance in place Drawing up the plans and getting planning permission Building the scheme and moving in (sales & lettings) The long term sustainability

Key Issues Why are you looking to do this? What are you looking to develop? New build or refurbishment Rent, sales or shared ownership / equity share Only housing or not Have you got a site? Is there a community group leading this? Is the local authority supportive? Self-build, community or enabling developer Are there any assets involved or is it all debt / grant driven? What will be the tenure and land ownership model? What are the long term community aspirations?
