Ilfracombe Community Land Trust Aspirations

ICLT is committed to providing good quality social housing for local people. Our intention is to provide exemplary accommodation for a mix of residents of all ages including single people, couples and families.  We want to provide homes for life that are truly affordable to live in.  This means low cost rents and homes that are economical to run and easy to maintain.  We want our homes to be sustainable for the environment as well. 

ICLT wants to build communities and to ensure that residents have access to flexible accommodation and shared spaces.  We want to ensure that residents can work, shop, socialise and go to school in our Town and contribute to the wider community.  We are committed to the principle that decent housing for life gives people dignity and security and has a positive impact on physical and mental well-being.

ICLT wants residents to be involved in their homes and make choices. As a Land Trust we recognise that there are many people in our town that have little chance of ever gaining long term accommodation and we want to offer these individuals, couples and families a chance to change that.
