I am a local authority

Chances are, we already have a healthy working relationship with you but it’s possible that you are visiting this page because you work for a different local authority and are curious about what we are up to. Fair enough. It’s all very exciting and we would love to think we could inspire other areas to follow suit.

For all CLTs, the main partnership needs to be with the local authority.

More and more local authorities are providing valuable support for CLTs as they can see that CLTs can help deliver their strategic objectives.

This includes putting in place planning and affordable housing policies that support CLTs, transferring assets or land at a price that is appropriate for the development of affordable housing, and providing both revenue and capital funding.

A local authority may want to support a CLT because they create community support for affordable housing and they bring forward sites that would not otherwise be available for development.

If you think we can help each other, we would love to hear from you to see how we can progress a working relationship.
