Brasted Close starts on site

We are celebrating the start of construction of 11 permanently affordable London Community Land Trust homes!
We are proud to be working in partnership with Rooff Contractors, London Community Land Trust and BPM Project Management to see this project through the construction stages. We were originally been chosen in 2016 as architects for the project through a public vote by surrounding estate residents!
We are also proud to see the achievements of Janet and Nano - local community leaders - who started the campaign through Leiwsham Citizens in 2014. Their tenacity made this possible.
The project will be 100% genuinely and permanently affordable, with each home sold at a price linked to local incomes. This means that homes will be around half the market price for homes in the same neighbourhood. When residents move on, they will have to sell the homes at prices linked to local incomes, meaning they will be affordable for generations to come. Residents on the housing waiting register will receive additional priority.
