Newsteer advised Oxford University Development on the feasibility of Keyworker Housing at Begbroke, providing a bespoke evidence base to inform the emerging masterplan.
The client’s challenge
The client needed to understand how Keyworker Housing could be planned, delivered and operated in practice, including the needs of major local employers such as the NHS.
Our solution
Newsteer consulted its NHS and Affordable Housing networks and prepared a report covering planning, delivery and operational considerations for Keyworker Housing.
Beyond advice: how we added value
The work combined property advice with direct market and stakeholder insight, helping the client test the concept against real demand and delivery considerations rather than relying on policy assumptions alone.
Outcomes and impact
Following the initial research, Newsteer was retained to provide further affordable housing, market rental and PBSA advice across Begbroke and other strategic portfolio sites.
