2. Our first project - Manor Farm
In 2012 Stretham and Wilburton CLT began working on their first project: Manor Farm.
When completed, the CLT will own and provide the following for the community: - 23 affordable homes for people with strong local connections - Premises for a new GP surgery - Flexible local workspaces - A new village green - A woodland walkway with edible planting 3. Future Projects
Camp’s Field
The local demand for affordable homes has far outweighed what the CLT has provided at Manor Farm. There are currently 64 local, eligible families on the waiting list, many from Wilburton. In order to meet this demand the Trust is starting to look to future projects. There is an opportunity on land at Camp’s Field.
We would like to find out what kind of development the community would support on this land and to give us their thoughts and ideas to develop a design brief. 4. The Site
This site is around 60 acres. If we consider a scheme along the same principles as Manor Farm, this willSTATION mean we are able to provide housing at low density
ROAD PRINCIPAL and still have significant land for recreational space ROAD and facilities. Through the ACCESS STRETHAM CLT the community can control how much of the land is allocated for housing. Below are some initial thoughts on how the site might be zoned, to provide a starting point for discussion:

5. Affordable and Market Housing
One of the key objectives of the CLT is to ensure that people aren’t forced out of Wilburton due to rising housing costs. Therefore, any affordable homes we build are:
- Reserved for people with strong local connections to the villages

Some ideas the Trustees would like to get opinions on include:
- A pedestrian crossing on the A1123 adjacent to the site, which could be funded by the scheme - Extending the 30mph zone - Parking and road users
- Ensuring all roads are built to adoptable standards PRIORITY?
What kind of parking style appeals to you? What makes a street pleasant place to be? What are your favourite streets in the village? 8. How Does This Stack Up?
In order to provide affordable homes and community amenities, an element of ‘open market’ housing will be required to cross-subside the cost. How does this work?:
Stretham and Wilburton CLT are working with Laragh Homes who will help to facilitate the delivery of the development.
Following planning approval the landowner sells the land at 1. approximately the cost of land valued for affordable housing.
Market houses are built on land which is acquired at a reduced rate. The CLT is given the land on which the 2. affordable houses will be built.
MARKET HOUSES When these market homes are sold the CLT is given a proportion of the uplift in land value which was realised with the planning consent. This pays for a proportion of the 3. construction cost of the affordable houses & other community assets.
The CLT takes out a bank loan to fund the remainder of the 4. construction cost of the CLT houses & assets.

The exciting thing about CLT developments are the long term opportunities they create for, and the control they give to the community.
In the first instance, the CLT pays for the affordable homes with a long-term bank loan. The CLT pays back the loan over years with the income from affordable homes.
Once the loans are paid back the CLT will have an income stream to dedicate
This is an alternative to standard affordable housing provided by private landlords or Housing Associations who are unlikely to invest surpluses back into the same community. 10. Upcoming Events
