London & Quadrant Group has kept its place as the UK’s largest developing registered social landlord. It came top of the Housing Corporation list of “preferred partners” – the 71 RSLs set to get much more grant than in previous years in an attempt to maximise the number of homes they can develop. It is set to get £225.3m in the next two years. L&Q’s main subsidiaries – London & Quadrant Housing Trust and Tower Homes – were allocated £117.8m and £107.5m respectively. They will build an estimated 3176 homes. Metropolitan Housing Trust received the largest single allocation: £136.6m to build 2417 homes. This is a huge increase: last year it was given about £18.5m and came 20th on the list of developers. Newcastle-based Home Group received the most – £60.3m – of any RSL outside the South-east, and Ujima was the highest ranked black and minority ethnic RSL , with more than £45m. But the troubled Peabody Trust and Places for People Group were not listed.
