Greystoke Community Land Trust

Working to improve community housing in the parish of Greystoke

Community land trusts (CLTs) are democratic, non profit organisations that own and develop land for the benefit of the community.

Although our initial focus is on housing, the Community Land Trust can be wider than that – encompassing, for example, community buy-outs of shops or pubs, or community orchards – and being a powerful voice for the whole community. We hope you’ll join us when membership opens.

Our Vision

Currently there is insufficient affordable housing in our community to meet the needs of young families and people working on average local wages. Downsizing locally is also a challenge. Our population is ageing fast. Without intervention, the character of the Greystoke community and our ability to sustain services will suffer.

We want Greystoke to be a place where people of all ages and financial means can have their housing needs met affordably and to a high standard. We want local people to have a significant say in how the village and surrounding area develops to meet its needs, creating a sustainable model for future residents.

We will earn the trust of the community through open, inclusive decision-making and we will respect the views of others. We are planning to make sure that the Community Land Trust continues to provide benefits for the local community long into the future.
