The future of housing starts in a forest!
We call it:
From Field & Forest to Front Door.
Nature captures carbon.
We store it in homes.
We create credits for the carbon storage & social impact to reduce the cost of homes.
Providing affordable homes for people in housing need.
๐
This week we welcomed 20+ colleagues from across government, local authorities, and industry to the CLiCs Centre - Centre for Low & Innovative Carbon Solutions.
We co-hosted the day with Richard Stanford, CEO of the Forestry Commission.
The day focused on a simple but powerful idea:
The future of housing starts in a forest.
The proposition we describe as:
From Field and Forest to Front Door.
Nature captures carbon.
We store it in homes.
We create credits for the carbon storage and social impact to reduce the cost of those homes.
The day was not just about materials, it was about natural, human and financial ecosystems:
Forestry as Infrastructure - a strategic national resource.
Distributed Manufacturing - replacing high-risk, capital-intensive factory models with localised agile systems of delivery.
New Finance Flows - unlocking land and reducing cost of delivery through Carbon and Social Value Trading.
Delivering Social Impact at Scale - through programmes like Prisoners Building Homes and providing safe, civil, low carbon affordable homes for people in housing need.
We do housing as if people and nature matter!

Weโve just submitted a planning application for Halton Senior Cohousing Group!
Lucy Wood and Pat Steward worked closely with HSCG, a wonderful group of over 55s who choose to live together as a community.
Fourteen homes, shared landscaped gardens and a common house where neighbours will meet, eat and share support with each other.ย
At Agile Homes we know that interdependence and independence combined for later life works.
The landscape design is core to how the design works, swales, planting and people flow together. We were able exceed the Biodiversity Net Gain target entirely on site, in a relatively dense layout. Ground screws, rather than trench foundations keeps the hydrology of the site intact!
The whole, definitely greater than the sum of its parts!

A pleasure to host the @educationgovuk & @ForestryComm at our centre for Low and Innovative Carbon Solutions.
We talked all things timber, skills training & education, affordable homes & schools estate. A b
Weโre called Agile Homes but we also do low carbon affordable schools, because schools, community & housing are always interwoven.

@tmccormick@actingliketommy Not soo much what Beaverton could do, youโre right.
But a platform of public record and 3 minutes of uninterrupted eloquence!
Itโs got you and I talking.
Iโm in the UK, I now know a little more about Beaverton.
@AndrewGold_ok@SuellaBraverman The ECHR has only stopped 13 deportations since 1980 out of thousands routinely done by all stripes of gov.
The UK deported c 5K a yr, now up to 10k since 2024.
ECHR is not the issue, sheโs tilting at windmills for clicks.
Good rage bait but leaving will not reduce boat crossings
@exRAF_Al Mollyโs an American!
Why should she wear a poppy?
She just posted about all who served and died.
Trump fucked up!
Itโs that simple.
You may just have weaponised our war dead for a bone spur president.
Whoโs the cunt?
@EssexPR What source are you using when you say heโs โhated by our armed forcesโ?
Trump has fucked up.
Itโs that simple.
Nothing to do with anyoneโs view of Kier Starmer.
But you knew that already.
Keep up the good work!
@StevenKerwin@Bricktop_NAFO What about his words not being aimed at these guys.๐
No amount of you asking Grok on stats will deal with the simple fact that your man has fucked up!
Bigly.
Allies served & died alongside Americans. He does a disservice to all troops frontline or otherwise wherever theyโre from
@desy_jones@Bricktop_NAFO Not really.
Brits just donโt much appreciate a bone spur president, accusing allies who served alongside and died with American forces of โstaying a little backโ.
Harry served on the frontline in Afghanistan.
@afneil Scotland has no need to build reservoirs.
Youโre muddling this up with England, that definitely does need them.
Or perhaps you knew that already.
Clickety Click!
Keep up the good work!
@NicholasTyrone You forgot about Africa, South America, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, UAE, Saudi etc.
Got any good names for those?
Why not go full on MABA, & Make America British Again?!
Perhaps Canada could annexe those troublesome southern neighbours?!
No downside there either.
