Page 2 of 6 Regulatory Judgement Peabody Trust 4878 Provider Details Origins Peabody Trust (Peabody) is a charitable community benefit society. It is the asset owning parent of a group that comprises 39 legal entities including the parent.

Registered Entities Peabody is the registered parent and majority stock holding entity within the group. It has four registered provider subsidiaries: • Charlton Triangle Homes Limited is a registered provider, registered charity and company limited by guarantee. It owns and manages around 1,200 homes in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. • Peabody Developments Limited is a registered provider and non- charitable community benefit society which engages in mixed purpose development and sale. It aims to maximise its surplus to donate to Peabody. • Peabody South East Limited is a registered provider and exempt charitable community benefit society, established to hold properties outside of London. It owns and manages about 1,860 homes. • Town and Country Housing is a registered provider and exempt charitable community benefit society which joined the group in 2019.

Geographic Spread and Scale Peabody has 66,000 homes in London and the South East. Most of its stock is in the boroughs of Islington, Southwark, Greenwich and Hackney. Outside of London, Peabody has a significant number of homes in Essex. Staffing and Turnover As at 31 March 2020, Peabody employed 2,869 full time equivalent staff and had a turnover of £662 million. Development Peabody aims to develop 9,000 units in the period from 2020 to 2025. The units will be allocated between social or affordable rent, shared ownership and market sale. Page 4 of 6 Regulatory Judgement Peabody Trust 4878 Regulatory Judgement This judgement confirms the regulator’s existing assessment of Peabody’s governance and viability (G1/V2). Following completion of an In Depth Assessment (IDA), the regulator has assurance that Peabody complies with the financial viability elements of the Governance and Financial Viability Standard and that its financial plans are consistent with, and support, its financial strategy. Peabody has an adequately funded business plan, sufficient security and is forecast to continue to meet its financial covenants. Peabody’s financial plan contains high levels of stock investment expenditure, including significant fire and building safety works, putting pressure on its interest cover ratios. Alongside this, it is delivering a large and diverse development and regeneration programme. These exposures give rise to material risks that Peabody needs to continue to manage, and which reduce its capacity to respond to adverse events. The regulator’s assessment of Peabody’s compliance with the governance elements of the Governance and Financial Viability Standard remains unchanged. Based on the evidence gained from the IDA, the regulator has assurance that Peabody’s governance arrangements enable it to adequately control the organisation and to continue meeting its objectives. Page 5 of 6 Regulatory Judgement Peabody Trust 4878 Annex 1: Definitions of Regulatory Processes In Depth Assessment (IDA) An IDA is a bespoke assessment of a provider’s viability and governance, including its approach to value for money. It involves on-site work and considers in detail a provider’s ability to meet its financial obligations and the effectiveness of its governance structures and processes. Stability Checks Based primarily on information supplied through regulatory returns, a Stability Check is an annual review of a provider’s financial position and its latest business plan. The review is focused on determining if there is evidence to indicate a provider’s current judgements merit reconsideration. Reactive Engagement Reactive engagement is unplanned work which is triggered by new information or a developing situation which may have implications for a provider’s current regulatory judgement. Stability Checks and Reactive Engagement In some cases, we will publish narrative regulatory judgements which combine evidence gained from both Stability Checks and Reactive Engagement. Further Information For further details about these processes, please see ‘Regulating the Standards’ on https://www.gov.uk/rsh. Page 6 of 6 .

  • Historical and Contemporary Archaeologies of Social Housing: Changing Experiences of the Modern and New, 1870 to Present
    Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Emma Dwyer School of Archaeology and Ancient History University of Leicester 2014 Thesis abstract: Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Emma Dwyer This thesis has used building recording techniques, documentary research and oral history testimonies to explore how concepts of the modern and new between the 1870s and 1930s shaped the urban built environment, through the study of a particular kind of infrastructure that was developed to meet the needs of expanding cities at this time – social (or municipal) housing – and how social housing was perceived and experienced as a new kind of built environment, by planners, architects, local government and residents. This thesis also addressed how the concepts and priorities of the Victorian and Edwardian periods, and the decisions made by those in authority regarding the form of social housing, continue to shape the urban built environment and impact on the lived experience of social housing today. In order to address this, two research questions were devised: How can changing attitudes and responses to the nature of modern life between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries be seen in the built environment, specifically in the form and use of social housing? Can contradictions between these earlier notions of the modern and new, and our own be seen in the responses of official authority and residents to the built environment? The research questions were applied to three case study areas, three housing estates constructed between 1910 and 1932 in Birmingham, London and Liverpool.

  • Sustainable Districts ADEME1 Bedzed
    1. BedZed (Sutton - UK) Project description BedZED (Beddington Zero Energy Aerial view of BedZED, credit Bill Dunster Architect Development) is the UK's first and largest carbon-neutral eco-community and is located in Sutton, a residential town 40 minutes South East from London. BedZED consists of 82 residential homes with a mixture of tenures – 34 for outright sale, 23 for shared ownership, 10 for key workers and 15 at affordable rent for social housing – and 1'600 square metres of work space, an onsite shop, café, sport facilities, health centre and childcare facilities with a further 14 galleried apartments for outright sale. Residents have been living at BedZED since March 2002 and currently BedZed is home to 220 residents. The BedZED design concept was driven by the desire to create a net 'zero fossil energy development', one that will produce at least as much energy from renewable sources as it consumes. Only energy from renewable sources is used to meet the energy needs of BedZED the development is therefore a carbon neutral development - resulting in no net addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Objectives The project aims and objectives are: • No use of fossil fuels • 50% reduction of the energies used for transport • 60% reduction of the domestic energy compared to the average British households • 90% reduction of the heating needs • Usage of renewable energies • 30% reduction of water consumption • Reduce waste and encourage recycling • Use construction materials from local providers (located whithin less than a 60 km radius) • Development of local resources (farmer network for local food) • Develop biodiversity in the natural areas Driving factors The main driving factor of the BedZed project was environmental .

  • The Alternative Housing Awards
    The Alternative Housing Awards Landlord Categories 1. Overall Lousy Landlord: Hyde Housing Association Limited Has received over 220 nominations. primarily for shirking its social responsibility after claiming it cannot afford to run community centres despite revenue of £351m in 2016, a surplus of £95m, and CEO pay of £220k in 2016. Like many of the associations recognised by our awards, they could each appear in several categories. Hyde received several nominations for being bullying bosses, with senior managers accused of having created a culture of fear at the association. 2. Senseless Social Cleansing and Dodgy Development: Clarion Housing Group Numerous examples but probably one of the worst is Orchard Village in Havering, built with £31m of public money. This was a so-called “flagship” estate in the London borough of Havering whose residents describe it as a “living hell”. They have had to endure mould and damp, broken heating systems, inadequate fire-proofing and missing insulation. They have also been put at risk from high levels of toxic gas including methane and hydrogen sulphide. The association has now been forced to buy back the properties from the residents. But Affinity and Circle made surpluses of £145 million and almost £86 million respectively so they don’t care what the residents suffer. 3. Blundering Board and Management: Peabody Trust For dismantling the Community Based Housing Association in east London and transferring all the assets to the parent Peabody. This destroyed an association that had excellent tenant satisfaction across a whole range of aspects that far outstripped Peabody’s satisfaction rates. They dismantled the model that worked best and imposed the one that was weakest.
