Welcome to the Lewes Community Land Trust website |

The Lewes Community Land Trust has been formed to be an effective alternative to private, profit-driven development.
It will compete with other developers to acquire suitable sites on behalf of the community and then build and manage developments that people actually want.
- True mixed use developments with amenity spaces for everyone.
- Low cost work spaces for local businesses.
- The kind of homes that families want to live in – including a high proportion of affordable housing.
- Genuine commitment to sustainable technologies.
- A unique opportunity to bring some joined-up thinking to planning in our own town.
- Owned by the townspeople, managed by the townspeople, for the townspeople.
