520			_aLooks at the growing band of housing associations that are adding the role of private house builder to that of social landlord, examines the motivation for this development and assesses their performance thus far. Housing associations are starting to buy land, building houses to their own design and integrating a large volume of affordable housing. They are motivated in part by dissatisfaction with planning gain agreements. Lack of land buying and optioning skills disadvantages housing associations vis-à-vis house builders and as long as house builders own and control the land, there will be limits on the new approach. Alternatively they can work with sympathetic landowners such as local authorities or bodies such as English Partnerships. Highlights initiatives by Bourneville Village Trust, Genesis and Emblem Homes.
