The house builder completed 1,677 houses in that time, up 46% from its 2016 total of 1,151 with 34 new sites (3,199 plots) contracted during the year with a potential gross development value (“GDV”) of £1.3bn

Alan Brown, Chief Executive of CALA Group, said:

“2017 has been another record year for the Group. Our performance for the twelve months to the end of June will see us deliver revenue in excess of £700m for the first time which is a big step towards our stated aim of delivering an annual capacity of up to 2,500 units and £1bn of revenue by 2020.

“Following the General Election result, we now have a Conservative Government with a stated manifesto pledge to build one million new homes by 2020. However, if the UK is to stand any hope of delivering on this aim, urgent reform of the planning system is required to remove the obstructions that are preventing us and other developers from getting on and building the homes the country desperately needs.

“We enter the new financial year in a positive position with a strong level of forward private reservations that is actually ahead of our expectations. We continue to see good opportunities to buy high quality land in attractive locations at affordable prices and I remain confident in both our near term and longer term growth plans.”
