How can CLTs partner with developers to deliver and steward affordable homes in large developments?

We've launched our @CommLandTrusts manifesto, calling for community ownership and agency to be wired into the system.
Many thanks to @Victoria_Spratt, @KaneEmerson of @yimbyalliance, @boys_nicholas, @rosegrayston and @MarkGregory21 for their discussion.

Have you started 2024 feeling Radical?
We have! #RadicalHousingConference 2024 planning is under way, so here is an early placeholder to keep space in your diary for late October.
Here is a clip of @richardbaconmp giving his thoughts on RHC 2023
#RHC2024
Great to hear… at last! Crucial in winning over landowners including @nationaltrust and others who are prominent in protected landscapes @RuralSussex
More big policy news!
Housing minister @Lee4NED has tabled amendments to exempt CLTs from leasehold enfranchisement - vitally protecting affordable CLT homes in perpetuity. A huge step for a campaign that the CLT Network has lobbied for since 2010! communitylandtrusts.org.uk/n…

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…

In 2023 11 CLTs completed 212 affordable homes and acquired 6.5 hectares of land for wildlife.
Hear from 4 CLTs that have completed this year and @RUSSLewisham who are almost there! @LondonCLT @BridportCohous1 @OxfordshireCLT & Lune Valley CLT.

I've a letter in tomorrow Guardian following up @johnharris1969' article about @MaydaySaxonvale suggesting that govt should back communities like @CommLandTrusts who want to #buildbetter (as today's new #NPPF national planning policy does after our campaign!)
Great to be a part of this event! Sharing our experience of community led housing @HubSussex @RuralSussex. Thank you @agile_homes for the opportunity.
Hear what @richardbaconmp has to say on the benefits of Housing Radicals assembling to share practical ideas and solutions to our housing crisis.
Richard's view on the event? "The content here today has been fantastic."
Thanks for your support Richard!
Great to be part of this excellent event. Inspirational words from @TweetEco, @tom_chance and others as part of final plenary. How to build the conditions for / rewire the system for resilience; social connection; power & agency to people; community ownership in perpetuity.
Some lively debate at what was a really good @UKCohousing summit event. “we know community housing is more stable, more sustainable, less risky” @richardbaconmp as part of a rousing call to @HomesEngland to continue its efforts to support the sector.
Very interesting visit to @MarmaladeLane Cohousing with members of the Phoenix Cohousing group. Lovely homes and shared spaces. Lots to ponder in co-design process with Human Nature (developers) in Lewes @HubSussex
Local residents, Icklesham CLT and partners all very happy to be part of the official opening of this 15 home scheme. “It’s made a massive difference to our lives, I love it” @HubSussex @HastoeHousing @RotherDC @CommLandTrusts @HomesEngland @RuralSussex

An absolute triumph for @OxfordshireCLT!
Their 8 new flats in #Botley offer rental homes that are kept affordable for people on Universal Credit. The completion of this project symbolises so much hard work and commitment to the community - congratulations!
#CLTsin23
Wonderful to see @OxfordshireCLT opening their first development and featuring on @BBCOxford

We're so proud to have played a part in their #CommunityLedHousing story!
Congratulations Claude!
Absolutely delighted to see @CommLandTrusts ambassador @Hopper_Claude be awarded an MBE today, I supported the nomination and think it well earned!
And likewise for all your support for us @HubSussex and all the community led housing groups we work with @RuralSussex!
It was indeed a pleasure to hear from all these people and their inspiring work. From Bristol to @RuralSussex talking all things community led from regenerative land use to @CommLandTrusts & @UKCohousing
Fantastic time in Lewes talking biogenic materials, community-led low-Carbon affordable homes & land unlocking at the @agile_homes Radical Housing Roadshow.
