Usually on a new development the external space is the least planned and loved. We are really pleased that the CBS has worked with Lawson TRA to create a great sitting out and children’s play area

I managed a very brief chat as he left the room. Hundreds of community groups - CLTs, co-ops, cohousing communities - are waiting for him to follow through on his words with action!

Good to hear from @michaelgove at the @nacsba reception this evening that he is a big fan of @CommLandTrusts and wants to find ways for them to become much more commonplace through planning and funding reforms.

The executive director of @LondonCLT sent a letter to the editor of the @FT in response to an article about housing prices.
He points out how London CLT prices its #communityledhousing based on local median income, safeguarding homes for local people.

The reality here is:
🏠 32 new council homes for local residents who need them,
👫 a new community hall,
🤼♂️ a brand new double height all-year-round sports hall (with 6 outdoor play areas within 5 minutes walk)
🌲 27 new trees
🚲 82 bike stores
🐝 🦇 🐣 new animal habitats... – at Camberwell, London
This is the real story of social housing problem @helendennis80. Instead @SouthwarkLabour want to deprive inner city kids of outdoor exercise space by bulldozing #LongLane ballcourt! Shocking betrayal of local children in present and future generations. @Jasmine_Ali

There’s been a lot on twitter about the proposal for 32 new social rent homes on the Elim Estate. A summary below of the benefits we expect to see if the application is approved ⬇️

Congrats to @Chrisigloo & partners for being a winner in Home of 2030. Not in the least surprising but certainly well deserved - including for writing about it in the Yorkshire Post. More people need to know that the crap orange boxes developers churn out are not the only option. – at Hastings, England
There is a better way to deliver new homes. @lilacleeds @CituUK @LeedsCommHomes @Yorspace @community_land yorkshirepost.co.uk/business…

With community ownership becoming more normal across Scotland we need to look at a range of finance models to
help communities finance their aspirations

Late to this, but initial thoughts on First Homes...
1. Community land trusts have been doing much of this for a while, great to see it impact national housing policy! (@community_land @CLHLondon)
