          Our aim is to provide "genuinely affordable" housing in perpetuity for people who live, have lived or work in the parish of Horsted Keynes

        • About us

          Start up

          The Horsted Keynes Community Land Trust (CLT) Feasibility Group was set up in June 2018 with a view to providing some genuinely affordable housing for local people in the parish.

          Community Engagement

          In November 2018 we held two community engagement events which were well attended and people were generally very supportive of this initiative.

          Housing Need Survey

          In April 2019 we commissioned Action in rural Sussex (AIRS) to carry out a detailed Housing Needs Survey in the parish. Full and summary versions of their report on the findings of this survey are available (see Documents).

          Local Need

          The results of the survey suggest the need, initially, for a small community-led housing scheme of approximately 6-9 dwellings.

          Potential Sites

          As yet, we have not identified a site for our proposed development but we are currently looking at a number of potential opportunities. We will provide further details on this as soon as possible. If you are a landowner or know someone who has a plot of land that they may be willing to make available please get in touch (see Contact Us).

          National CLT Network

          We have joined the National CLT Network and further information can be found on their website about CLT’s and community-led housing schemes (see Further Info)

          Legal Status

          We are now in the process of formalising our legal status by setting up a Community Benefit Society (with exempt charity status). Four members have agreed to be on the initial board of trustees (see The Team) and we anticipate co-opting additional board members shortly.

          Membership

          Once incorporated we anticipate launching our membership scheme to the community in the first quarter of 2020.

          Can you help?

          If you have a particular skill or experience that you think may be useful or you are in a position to offer finance or you have land that you may be able to make available, we would love to hear from you (see Contact Us)

          Radical reforms to the planning system
          October 7, 2020
          We have responded to the government's "Planning for the Future" White Paper consultation, which proposes radical reforms to the planning system. You can read what we have said about the proposals here:
          Plans to reduce affordable housing challenged!
          September 30, 2020
          Did you know that the government is considering short term changes to the current planning system alongside plans to permanently reform it? We think these changes could have a negative impact on communities being able to meet their local housing needs, including affordable housing. We have...
