The Land Trust is
delighted to announce two new service charge sites have transferred to its
management.
St Luke’s Park in
Runwell, Essex, and St Michael’s Hurst in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire,
are the latest spaces to be added to the Trust’s portfolio of sites in England.
Both residential
sites have been developed by Countryside Properties, who work in partnership
with the Land Trust at the hugely successful Beaulieu development in
Chelmsford, Essex.
Alan Carter,
Director of Portfolio Management at the Land Trust said: “We are delighted to
begin management of these fantastic sites and add them to our growing portfolio
of residential service charge spaces.
“While the Land
Trust is still relatively new to this area of work we believe our placekeeping
philosophy brings communities together and makes a difference in a market where
too often residents are left exposed to rising prices with no power to do anything
about it. We put the needs of the residents first while delivering charitable
outcomes at the same time.
“We know that
spending time in well managed green space has a positive effect on people’s
physical and mental health and also delivers a host of economic and social
benefits and we look forward to delivering high quality green space management
and working with the residents to build their communities and make a positive
impact on their lives.”
Both St Luke’s Park
and St Michael’s Hurst sites include a significant amount of green space and
woodland which will enable residents to spend time outdoors, particularly at St
Michael’s Hurst, which includes a 16 hectare country park as part of the development.
The transfer of both
sites to the Land Trust brings the total number of service charge sites under
their management to five.
