Community-led affordable homes in smaller settlements should be encouraged alongside wider development requirements as these homes achieve genuine affordability, reduce loneliness, strengthen social cohesion and public health, and tend to achieve high energy-efficiency standards. Community-led development builds a sense of community ownership and can strengthen community relationships as goals are identified and then turned into the reality of homes which let locals stay local (if that is their preference).
There will always be groups for whom rural housing presents employment, social, health and transport challenges so it is also appropriate that affordable housing growth is required in larger settlements.
