The policy aims to help sustain rural communities and retain people in their local communities by allowing the development of small scale affordable homes to meet local identified housing need. Promoters of such sites include Registered Social Landlords, the County Council and Community Land Trusts.
The purpose of this Guidance is to assist in bringing forward affordable housing developments with the help of Community Land Trusts. This is one of a series of Place Plan Toolkits that the National Park Authority intends to prepare.
A Community Land Trust is set up by the community for the community. The Community Land Trust endeavours to keep the homes or assets permanently affordable. This means that the home or asset is not just made affordable for the first buyers but that the Community Land Trust maintains the affordability of the housing or asset in perpetuity.
The Authority will use the same approach it used to provide the assessment of sites for Local Development Plan 2.
