Our statement on the decision in National Community Homes CIC (formerly known as Larch Housing Association Ltd) v Regulator of Social Housing [2022] EWHC 3171 (Admin)
We welcome the 12 December 2022 judgement of the High Court dismissing National Community Homes CIC’s appeal against our decision to de-register it.
Larch (now known as National Community Homes CIC) has been in persistent breach of the Governance and Financial Viability Standard since November 2019. Between 2019 and December 2021, it failed to demonstrate that it could sustain its viability on an ongoing basis.
As a result, it could not demonstrate that it met the relevant registration criteria and RSH gave notice that it would de-register the provider.
Following its unsuccessful appeal to the High Court, National Community Homes CIC has been removed from the register of social housing.
