Combining Taylor Woodrow’s strong strategic landbank and George Wimpey’s well sourced short term land has delivered a well balanced landbank that puts Taylor Wimpey in an excellent position for the future. 4 www.taylorwimpey.com 1 2 3 4 1 Strategic land In the UK, land with an implementable planning consent remains a scarce resource. Competition for such land is intense resulting in relatively high purchase prices. Our strategic land team is dedicated to identifying sites which do not currently have planning consent, but have good potential for future development. We would typically agree a purchase option arrangement with the landowner and then work together to promote the site through the planning process. Purchase options generally provide us with the ability to purchase the land at a discount to open market value when suitable planning consents are obtained. We aim to increase the proportion of our UK home completions that are built on strategically sourced land over time. 2 Brownfield land During 2007, 68% of our homes in the UK were built on ‘brownfield’ or previously developed land. This classification incorporates a wide variety of former uses. For example, our Axis development in Coventry is on the site of the former Peugeot works; our Grand Union Village development in West London is on the site of the former Taylor Woodrow head office; and our Modern Ice development in San José, California, is on the site of a former refrigeration and cold storage unit. We regularly turn disused, neglected or contaminated land into thriving new communities. Many of our developments integrate green spaces or wildlife areas and involve conservation work. 3 Developing communities Planning skills are a key element of our success. The ability to develop sustainable communities is a key factor in winning land bids and also ensures that the finished developments are attractive and vibrant communities where people want and can afford to live. More detail on this aspect of our business is provided in our separate Corporate Responsibility Report. 4 Taylor Woodrow Communities Our land development business in North America, Taylor Woodrow Communities, identifies and acquires land suitable for housing.

  • City-REDI Policy Briefing Series
    City-REDI Policy Briefing Series March Image Image 2018 Part B Carillion’s Collapse: Consequences Dr Amir Qamar & Professor Simon Collinson Carillion, the second-largest construction firm in the UK, were proud of their commitment to support regional growth and small-scale suppliers. As part of this commitment they directed 60% of project expenditure to local economies. Following the collapse of the firm, this positive multiplier effect became a significant, negative multiplier effect, particularly damaging to small-scale suppliers in the construction industry. The aim of this policy brief is to examine the consequences of Carillion’s demise, many of which are only now surfacing. One of the fundamental lessons that we can learn from Carillion’s collapse is about these ‘contagion’ effects. As we saw in the 2008 financial crisis, the businesses that underpin the economic health of the country are connected and strongly co-dependent. When a large flagship firm falls it brings down others. This does not mean we need more state intervention. But it does mean we need more intelligent state intervention. One of the fundamental lessons that the Government can learn from the Carillion episode is that it has a significant responsibility as a key customer, using public sector funds for public sector projects, to monitor the health of firms and assess the risks prior to issuing PPI and other contracts. 1 Introduction The collapse of Carillion, the second-largest construction firm in the UK, has had a significant, negative knock-on effect, particularly on small-scale suppliers in the industry. In total, Carillion was comprised of 326 subsidiaries, of which 199 were in the UK.

    HSE Health & Safety Executive A survey of UK approaches to sharing good practice in health and safety risk management Prepared by Risk Solutions for the Health and Safety Executive CONTRACT RESEARCH REPORT 412/2002 HSE Health & Safety Executive A survey of UK approaches to sharing good practice in health and safety risk management E Baker Risk Solutions 1st floor, Central House 14 Upper Woburn Place London, WC1H 0JN United Kingdom The concept of good practice is central to HSE’s approach to regulation of health and safety management. There must therefore be a common understanding of what good practice is and where it can be found. A survey was conducted to explore how industry actually identifies good practice in health and safety management, decides how to adopt it, and how this is communicated with others. The findings are based primarily on a segmentation of the survey results by organisation size, due to homogeneity of the returns along other axes of analysis. A key finding is that there is no common understanding of the term good practice or how this is distinguished from best practice. Regulatory interpretation of good practice is perceived to be inconsistent. Three models were identified: A) Large organisations, primarily in privatised industries, have effective Trade Associations where good practice is developed and guidance disseminated industry-wide. B) Large and medium-sized organisations in competitive industries have ineffective trade associations. They develop good practices in-house and may only share these with their competitors when forced to do so. C) Small organisations have little contact with their competitors.
