A community-led project which has been three years in the making will launch its first affordable homes due for completion in the spring 2021.
The Midhurst Community Land Trust (CLT) has exchanged contracts to purchase 2 two bed houses.
The homes at Wyndham Court off Lambert’s Lane in Midhurst are currently in the final stages of construction by a Metis Homes who have a successful history of developments in the town.
Adrian Moore Midhurst CLT Chairman said, “This is great news for the area and the first of a number projects we have in the pipeline. The houses will be available for rental as affordable housing and protected for the benefit of our community through the asset-lock protection in our Rules.”
Midhurst CLT is a not-for-profit organisation established with the aim of making housing in the Midhurst area more affordable to key workers and local people who are important to the fabric of the town and the surrounding area.
Midhurst District Councillor, Gordon McAra said, “This initiative is a game changer for the town, they are the first Community Land Trust properties in the district, and I hope the first of many low-cost housing projects for our local community.”
Adam O’Brien Metis Homes Managing Director said, ‘We are delighted to be teaming with MidhurstCLT and look forward to working with them in the future.’
