CLT's are campaigning to improve legislation, to demand that developers maximise affordable housing. Under the Mendip Local Plan, 30% of all new homes in a development of ten homes or more must be affordable. We believe it should be 40%, of which 80% is social housing.

[Frome Area Community Land Trust @FromeCLT]

Governments have failed to address the need for social housing even though the UK is bound to recognise the right to safe and adequate housing. There is urgent need for this across the country, especially for those who seek refuge from persecution here.

The government today published findings from its latest English Housing Survey.

The report shows that many renters still live in overcrowded, non-decent homes at a time when a significant number (29%) are finding their rents increasingly unaffordable.

@MaydaySaxonvale aims to create a community-focused development with 182 homes, a significant portion allocated to social rent. They successfully challenged rival developer in court, an exciting potential shift towards community-led regeneration we hope!
