What we do

Rural housing enabling 

This is the important groundwork to assess housing need and then enable the development of excellent affordable homes in rural areas to meet those needs. 

This work ensures that parishes have the right balance of housing to sustain a vibrant community. Any new housing should aim to meet local needs and be planned carefully to have a positive impact on the area. By identifying the full range of housing needs for local people, future decisions and proactive action can be properly informed.   

Who we work with

Rural communities need more high-quality affordable homes. We help make this happen by working with both public and private organisations to deliver affordable rural homes for local people.

Development services

From identifying sites and analysing needs, to community consultation and funding advice, we listen to what everyone wants and build their needs into suitable housing. 

Partnerships 

We forge strong relationships with organisations to improve rural housing. This collaboration plays a crucial role in delivering excellent, lasting results. 

Training and knowledge sharing 

We advise and train local authorities and parish councils on rural housing planning and development. Talk to us about tailored good practice guides, individual village schemes, rural housing protocols and step-by-step processes.
