We want local people to help with the details: design, waste, energy, transport, food, and ownership and bring it together to shape how we make it happen!
Introducing the concept
On the 13th February, 45 people joined us to discuss how community-led housing could develop in Plymouth. PEC's CEO, Alistair, gave a presentation about our initial idea and introduced a potential new build site at Kings Tamerton. The event was a real success with participants discussing why community-led housing would be important and exploring ideas around 10 areas such as waste, energy, transport, defined by a concept called One Planet Living.
Further along the journey
We have now held a number of gatherings to establish the governance structure for the new organisation, the time line to aim towards and design working groups. We have a number of people keen to be involved with design, governance, as potential tenants, as potential investors or simply as supporters. Soon we will be establishing a new organisation to enable community-led housing in Plymouth.
Please note the 2020 annual report, PEC Homes is included with PEC Trust and PEC CBS.
