Exciting News: NW3 CLT's Planning Success Featured in CLH Newsletter
Celebrating a Milestone Achievement!
We are thrilled to announce that NW3 Community Land Trust has been prominently featured in the latest Community Led Housing (CLH) newsletter and website for our outstanding success in securing planning permission for our transformative project. This recognition underscores the dedication and hard work of our team and community partners in delivering sustainable and affordable housing solutions in Hampstead.
The article highlights NW3 CLT's achievement in securing planning permission for our ambitious plans, which have been meticulously crafted in collaboration with the local community. Our project will deliver 14 new highly sustainable homes, with 8 of them being genuinely affordable. This includes 2 homes for social rent and 6 for discounted sale, addressing the pressing need for accessible housing options in our neighborhood.
Sanya Polescuk, Co-founder and Chair of NW3 CLT, expressed her gratitude and excitement, stating, "I’m still somewhat in disbelief that we did it but somehow we have planning permission! Thank you to everyone for your work, support, belief, and perseverance. This represents the hard work that local people and supporters have put in to deliver new affordable housing in the community we so cherish."
The newsletter also features remarks from Cllr Danny Beales, Cabinet Member for New Homes, Jobs, and Community Investment, applauding NW3 CLT's innovative approach to housing delivery. He remarked, "As a Council, we are proud to be supporting new and innovative methods for delivering desperately needed affordable homes, and what NW3 CLT’s proposals will do is empower local residents to step into the role of developer and to lead directly on the delivery of more affordable and sustainable homes for their local community."
Designed by Mole Architects, the homes navigate several site challenges, including a steeply sloping site and conservation area restrictions. The project management has been expertly handled by Altair and funded by the Greater London Authority, reflecting a collaborative effort to bring this vision to life.
The newsletter also provides insights into the CLT's mission and vision, emphasizing our commitment to providing environmentally sustainable and perpetually affordable housing options for the local community. With over 175 members democratically controlling the organization, NW3 CLT aims to address the housing affordability crisis in Hampstead and beyond.
As we celebrate this milestone achievement, NW3 CLT extends our heartfelt gratitude to the CLH newsletter for featuring our success story. Together, let us continue to champion community-led housing initiatives and create positive change in our neighborhoods.
Stay tuned for more updates and progress on our transformative project!
