Reinvest all profits to create more permitted development projects in the future. Surplus can also be used for the maintenance of properties or even improving things inside the properties e.g. furniture if the need arises
This is beneficial as it will contribute to meeting our aim of sustainably increasing the supply of housing, meeting the excess demand for housing in Nottingham. Also, this will hopefully have the desired impact of reducing house prices

Payment for accommodation – (Including essential bills: gas, water, etc)

Parking spaces

Charging for storage space

Cleaning services

Renting furniture (if some of the people are homeless they may not be able to afford upfront cost of furniture)

Beneficiary (Who benefits?): Homeless people in the area are first to benefit from the intervention. But if they can get on their feet and achieve meaningful employment we will all be able to benefit. It could reduce crime and make the area more attractive. Prevention is better than a cure so in the long run it may be cheaper to house homeless before their mental health deteriorates before they become homeless and abuse substances etc. (which is not only tragic but places more pressure on the NHS)

Customer (Who will pay?): Mostly the council through housing benefit etc. since the homeless people are unlikely to have the money to pay for accommodation (a large reason why people are homeless is because they can’t afford a home).

The council will get most of this money through council tax etc. but there’s an opportunity for them to potentially offer loans to homeless people which they could pay back if they find employment.

May require special consideration from council as planning permission may be required
Other stakeholders

Customers (people looking for accommodation)

Local residents (building will be taking place near them)

Local community

Permitted development has a negative environmental impact, this is due to the amount of fossil fuels that are burned in the process of construction which lead to toxic gases polluting the air and contribute to global warming. To overcome the negative impact, we can negate this by planting trees every time new buildings are built in order to try and balance the negative and positive environmental impact of permitted development.

The largest areas of expenditure will be from purchasing the commercial space and financing the conversion of the space into flats. This involves installing utilities and ensuring it meets planning requirements. Additional cost of furniture if offering a furnished flat.
The cost could be reduced when scaling up if buying material in bulk but new projects would be independent.

# data[].attributes.body
Adequate finance

Labour (builders, interior designers etc)

Enough demand for housing in Nottingham

Planning permission from council if it is needed

1. a) User Value Proposition- what are you offering?

Efficient way to increase supply of housing, without extensive construction costs

Directly tackles the supply side of the housing crisis

Maintained by a single organization (ex. Council): reducing the hassle of multiple owners and their own requirements

b) Impact Measures- How will you demonstrate that you are creating social impact?

No. of residential spaces occupied

Change (hopefully reduction) in the homelessness rate

Duration the residential space is used by a person/family

Place of transition post living in the permitted development space (are the struggling individuals able to find a flat or other house after living here? Or are they yet not able to pay rent and unable to find suitable housing?) This indicates whether people have been able to increase incomes and their standard of living.

1. Customer Value Proposition- What do your customers (want to) get out of this initiative?

Find affordable and quality housing

Reduce financial stress caused by high house prices

Our choice of intervention is permitted development. This involves changing the current underused and unused buildings in and around Nottingham from commercial use into accommodation.

Many firms that have seen a downfall in business, perhaps directly as a result of the current pandemic, now have large retail units in prime city centre locations which are currently sitting empty and could be converted into being used more efficiently, such as providing housing.

This is a service and product that allows the unused space in the centre of the city to be reallocated to be used as residential, and thus reduce homelessness in the city.

Some of our "customers" will be homeless. These customers will be able to find us by going through the regular process for getting into housing as a homeless person (i.e. through council)
For our customers who aren't homeless, they will be able to find us how any person looking for accommodation finds it, usually by surfing the internet and finding suitable options. There may have to be money spent on advertising to gain the reach that may be desirable which is worth considering.

What are the most important things that need to be done to make the enterprise work to deliver value to your customers – both commercial and social?

One important thing that needs to be done is to ensure that the local Council is on board with what we are doing, since we need planning permission etc. and because they will be one of our largest customers (They might pay the enterprise to house people temporarily etc.).

Socially we must make sure that the housing is adequate and not crowded. Overcrowding could lead to anti-social behaviour, and if we house a large number of people, we may need to employ a security guard to make sure nothing happens.
