We have been working on this development which includes four 1-bed and two 2-bed apartments that are aimed at assisting local residents under the age of 35 with their first step on to the property ladder.

Built upon a disused orchard in the town, donated to the Uppingham Homes Community Land Trust by the Badley Family, the site is intended to provide affordable homes for young people from Uppingham, helping to ensure the long-term sustainability of the town for its residents.

The development of this application has involved close collaboration with our client, a local Community Partnership dedicated to promoting the town and improving the lives of its residents, who were able to help set up the Community Land Trust (CLT) thanks to support received from a Homes England grant. A further government grant is supporting the CLT’s bid to become a registered housing provider, allowing them to manage the homes for sale and rent once complete, thus keeping control of the housing in the hands of the community.
