How can we help?
The Peninsula Villages Community Land Trust is a not-for-profit enterprise run by local people who are accountable to their community.
These people form a Board of Trustees.
Their role is to help the PVCLT form partnerships with landowners, developers and housing associations to ensure that genuine affordable housing is built as specified.
Homes and any other community assets are secured by the PVCLT in perpetuity via a statutory asset lock. As such, our homes fall outside of the Right to Buy scheme.
On PVCLT owned schemes, local connection will be considered first and applicants will be prioritised to reflect their housing need.
It is important to note that a resident from one parish will be eligible for a property that is in another parish within the area that forms PVCLT.
