Welcome to the new Spaxton Community Land Trust (SCLT)website.
We are a community-based organisation run by volunteers to develop housing and other assets that meet the needs of the local community.
Our focus is community benefit rather than developer profit. By taking the initiative, it allows the community to determine developments, rather than having them imposed.
The input and support of the local community is key to the success of the CLT so please do get involved.
“SCLT has been formed to ensure community control over future affordable housing development and any plans will be subject to complete consultation to ensure this happens in a way with which the community is comfortable.”

Chair, Spaxton CLT
