Gort Scott’s Gainsford Road development with Pocket Living has been featured in the Mayor of London’s Delivering Quality Homes Handbook pilot scheme as an exemplar for cost-effective, high-quality design.

The Handbook, written by Claire Bennie, aims to manage quality in new builds for Councils and Housing Associations under the categories: Culture and People, Briefs and Standards, Procurement and Stewardship.

This pilot has been adopted by four housing providers and will run over the next two years. Pending the success of this trial, the Delivering Quality Homes Handbook will become a contractual obligation within the Mayor’s future new build homes funding programmes.
