The ANUK National Code of Standards for Larger Developments has launched.

For more information visit the launch site at http://www.anuk.org.uk/largecode

This Code establishes a set of specific standards with particular relevance to larger developments tenanted by students. The definition of "larger development" is a development where in excess of 25 students live in one building in rooms off a central corridor, in cluster flats, or in self contained flats.

Larger developments have particular needs and procedures relating to their ongoing management and this Code reflects their specialist status as an important part of the student accommodation supply.

The purpose of the National Code is to enable property owners, managers and tenants to agree a set of undertakings about how they wish to do business with one another.

The Code enjoys the support of the National Union of Students (NUS), Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, The Accreditation Network UK (ANUK), The Association for Student Residential Accommodation (ASRA), Chartered Institute of Environmental Health Officers (CIEH), Conference of University Business Officers (CUBO), UniversitiesUK, Association of Managers of Student Services in Higher Education (AMOSSHE) and its secretariat is based at Unipol Student Homes.
