Following previous regeneration work Milton Keynes Council residents reported health, financial and other benefits.

As a result the public health and regeneration teams decided to commission research to capture the health and wellbeing impact of refurbishment more systematically. The researchers surveyed households before the refurbishment works of phase two, and again after they had been completed and experienced by residents for some months. The resulting ‘Healthy Homes' research project is framed as a pilot project, establishing a possible blueprint for future evaluation research on housing regeneration.
