Our Board, Committees and Governance arrangements

Great Places has adopted the NHF Code of Governance 2020 as our governance framework. This is enhanced by a range of other documents including our governing instruments, committee terms of reference, reserved and delegation frameworks and other policies and procedures.

You can see how we demonstrate compliance with the Code of Governance Compliance Statement.

Great Places has also subscribed to the NHF Code of Conduct 2022 and more recently the updated 2026 version. Great Places carries out an annual gap analysis and compiles a report to demonstrate how we are compliant with the Code of Conduct. From 2026 this will be enhanced with additional information which we have consulted our customers on, to develop a single comprehensive Code of Conduct which meets the requirements of the Competence and Conduct framework.

Our Group Board are also the shareholder of Great Places Housing Group, Great Places Housing Association and Plumlife Homes, as well as the Directors of Cube Homes and Terra Nova Developments Limited. They are the highest decision-makers at Great Places. A number of matters are reserved specifically to the Board which only they can decide on. They have also delegated a range of functions to committees and the CEO, who in turn can delegate these further to officers.
