Our launch event on 27 November 2024 was well attended by the community. You can view a copy of the pesentation and script in the documents section of this website.

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).

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

Over the last few years our feasibility group has been engaging with the landowner’s agent and developer for the Police House Field site, which was recommended for planning approval earlier this year. We have also teamed up with a Registered Provider for affordable housing.  They have recently received very encouraging news that they are preferred bidder, with HKCLT, to acquire the affordable homes within that development.

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)

We have now incorporated as a Community Benefit Socitey.
