8 January 2025 update

Hello all

Please see below our first update of 2025, outlining progress towards occupation of the Greenside development.

The site opened again on Monday 6 January after the Christmas break.

This week further witness testing of the Heat Network and Life Safety Systems took place. We will update you on the results when we receive our third-party consultant review of the results.

Timeline to occupation

Whilst we’re not reporting any changes at the moment, this is because the site only opened this week. More information will follow in the next update.

We’ve received building control and building warranty sign off documentation and have updated the timeline to include a new key milestone; Document control sign-off. Our third-party M&E consultant, Calford Seaden is now auditing the Operational and Maintenance (O&M) manual.

We will review any outstanding items at a meeting with Calford Seaden on 9 January.

Block C - Cypress House – 26 homes.

All internal areas have been snagged and de-snagged except those flats affected by the water ingress. These are three lower ground floor flats, C06, C07 and CO8. De-snagging of these flats and the external areas began week commencing 13 Jan 2025.

Block C occupation is subject to a temporary crossover solution, which is still being negotiated with Highways.

Block B – Yew House - 28 homes.

All internal areas have been snagged and de-snagged except those flats affected by the water ingress. These are three lower ground floor flats, B01, B02 & B05. De-snagging of these flats and the external areas began week commencing 13 Jan 2025.

Block B is subject to Building Safety Registration, so occupation will follow registration.

The next update will be on 22 January.
