More Friday inspiration😃
Read our case study of Three Seas Cornwall 🏘️
Raising community shares to make coastal homes affordable.
“It’s hard to take an old stone house and turn it into an eco-home – but it can be done"

We're excited by a proposed Community Right to Buy - but we need to make sure that impactful CLTs (like @hastingscommons and @CVCLT1) creating new community places & community led affordable homes don't miss out

And over in our rural housing partnerships session - sponsored by @AsterGroupUK - @AlisonWardx is talking through Middlemarch CLH replicable model of rural CLT-housing association partnerships - contributing to a South West boom in CLT homes #buildingwithcommunities

What do we need from the new gov to see CLTs thriving? @AlisonWardx and Hannah from @AsterGroupUK say reinstate the Community Housing Fund, Rich Pillar says create policy to respond to real housing need within a community & develop WITH local authorities #BuildingwithCommunities

"It’s our idea of what a sustainable neighbourhood looks like,” says Anurag Verma, who chairs @RUSSLewisham, “Much more than just being affordable, it’s about the idea of agency – having control over where you live". Welcome to @CommLandTrusts

"I believe that we as a society will all be better off if more of our assets are owned by the community. Selling this house to the CLT is one small step in that direction that was within my power to take." Affordable, rented, energy efficient, community owned & coming to Hebden.

CLT-owned homes are exempt from the Right to Buy and Right to Shared Ownership, and of they are the freeholder can also exempt homes from the Right to Acquire and (soon) leasehold enfranchisement. Inc where an RP/council is landlord.

What if we designed, sourced and built our homes with homegrown materials and resources?
We're very excited to be launching our 'Homegrown Homes for People and Planet' report, supported by the @ForestryComm.
... Coming Weds pm on wecanmake.org 👀

Amazing! Great achievement as the result of hard work and dedication from volunteers!
We're delighted to have finally signed the legal agreement for a 250 year lease at The Lawns for our first affordable housing project. Thanks to @ACSLLP for the legal work, and @CLHLondon & @MayorofLondon/@tomcopley for the funding & support.

This is a truly stupid tragedy.
If they had vested the land into a Community Land Trust with the council operating the homes, they would have been protected. One to consider...
Goldsmith Street, Norwich - winner of the RIBA Stirling Prize in 2019, 100 percent social housing, Passivhaus -and now being privatised by Right to Buy. Such a devastating indictment of that policy.

Our new manifesto proposes policies to make community led homes account for at least 5% of housing development in the UK in the next 5 years - 15k homes a year and potentially generating £1bn+ community wealth.

A big moment for @CommLandTrusts nerds - the housing minister @Lee4NED has tabled amendments to exempt CLTs from leasehold enfranchisement, a campaign ask for over 14 years that will close a loophole in protecting affordable homes in perpetuity!

NPPF update ushers in landmark planning policies for community-led developments!
These offer CLTs a unique way to get planning permission, as well as growing council recognition of and support for CLTs, particularly with support accessing small sites: communitylandtrusts.org.uk/n…

Great article by @johnharris1969 on @MaydaySaxonvale with @FromeCLT, it'd be a landmark for @CommLandTrusts alongside a few other large site CLTs and points to an agenda for community led development - dear @mtpennycook could you back the local builders?

Welcome back to the housing minister role, @Lee4NED.
Over 350 communities trying to build >6k affordable homes hope you will reopen the Community Housing Fund, reform the NPPF and ensure leasehold reforms protect community ownership.
