Community-led regeneration
We’re going to help councils and communities build truly affordable homes on under-used publicly owned land in towns and cities around the UK.
What do these homes look like?
Underused land in our towns and cities means the airspace over car-parks and the rooftops of buildings. Deck access 'front gardens' provides privacy from below and allows people to meet their neighbours, grow plants and clean and maintain their buildings easily. It protects from extreme sun and rain and gives lots of escape routes in an emergency.
How do I get one?
Send us an email if you want an affordable home in your town or city.
We'll get designs drawn up, get planning permissions, get funding and get building so you can get on with your life in an affordable, decent and secure home.
You must live, work or study in your chosen town or city.
Why now?
Advances in factory-built home manufacturing which means that it is now viable to build affordable, decent and secure homes on underused land. It's about making better use of public and privately owned urban land and not building in the countryside.
