The Narrative 

The Stourbridge PowerHaus,  SCDT and the Community Land Trust grew out of the desire to address the issues of affordability of rent and energy

And its secondary effects on the retention of creativity, enterprise, the local economy and the environment within the town of Stourbridge .  

 

The site on Enville Street provides a perfect continuation of the historical narrative as it stands next door to Alexandra House which due to its affordability has served as the informal home of creativity within the town for many years.

What is a Community Land Trust

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

 

They typically provide affordable homes, community gardens, civic buildings, pubs, shops, shared workspace, energy schemes and conservation landscapes.

Run by ordinary people.

They are community organisations run by ordinary people who want to make a difference to their local community, putting control of assets into the hands of local people. They can be set up by the community or a landowner, developer or council.

Protecting community assets forever.

They ensure that their homes are permanently and genuinely affordable. CLTs act as long-term stewards of land and the assets on it. They ensure that it is put to the benefit of the local community, not just for now but for every future occupier.

A world wide movement.

Started in the USA, CLTs are now a worldwide movement. In both urban and rural areas, CLTs are a key part of the future of land, affordable housing and community facilities.
