Welcome to Thorverton Community Land Trust

Thank you to everyone who attended the OPEN MEETING on Weds 26TH FEB 

We had a good number of messages following the Open Meeting and we will do our best to respond - please note that the messages ranged from a single paragraph to four pages so it’s quite a task.

We were pleased to see there was considerable support at the Meeting for both the provision of Affordable Housing and the purchase of the sites in Silver St.  The Board met on Monday, 3^rd March and, taking into account the many comments received on the subject of size,  decided that it should concentrate its efforts on developing the project on the northern site; this will involve more planning and discussions with several third parties, such as the Church Commissioners, so please bear with us while we attend to these.

We will keep you updated, through this website, as progress is made.  Members of TCLT will also receive email updates.

We also want to be better at communicating with the public; we acknowledged at the Open Meeting we had not been good enough and are determined to improve.  As many of the comments were making similar points we are considering opening a Forum on the website where questions could be asked, in public, with a response coming from the CLT; this would mean everyone can see both the question and the answer. More will follow as soon as possible.

In the meantime the preliminary site proposal, a copy of the presentations and other items can all now be found on the 'Documents' page.  Please take a look!

Thorverton Community Land Trust (TCLT) was formed in 2024.

TCLT is the operating group behind the Affordable Housing programme in our village. This website give you more information about Community Land Trusts and how they work, and will show you the background to the formation of Thorverton CLT and its aims.

The term ‘Affordable Housing’ covers a multitude of options, which we try to explain as part of the FAQ page. Other topics in this section include the allocation of the homes to local people and some information on how to get on the waiting list.

We publish a monthly update on this website which you can see in the links at the foot of this page but if you have a specific question for us then send an email via the Contact page.

Thank you for visiting us!
