About the Applicant / Landowner

Established in 1969, Sanctuary Group — which purchased the site in August 2016 from the NHS — is responsible for the provision of social housing, care, and management services across England and Scotland. The Group owns and operates more than 100,000 homes and employs around 11,000 people.

Sanctuary operates as a charitable, not-for-profit organisation, with all surpluses reinvested in affordable housing, care homes, the maintenance of existing properties, and the development of new services for its customers.

Beech Grove Homes, part of Sanctuary Group, specialises in high-quality homes for sale, including shared ownership and outright purchase. Focusing on well-designed, energy-efficient developments across the UK, Beech Grove combines Sanctuary’s social purpose with private sale expertise to deliver sustainable communities and cross-subsidy for affordable housing.
