The Christow Community Land Trust’s initial aim was to provide affordable housing for people with a strong local connection to our village. This was achieved in 2017 with the completion of 14 passivhaus dwellings in Stafford Close. These houses are mostly for rental as social housing and are managed by Teign Housing .
However, the scope of the Trust provides a vehicle for the Christow CLT to own, develop and protect other property and land and other schemes of benefit to the village. Following the successful completion of Stafford Close, this is now our focus. You can find out about our current projects by contacting one of the Directors, or looking out for updates every three months or so in the local Unity newsletter. We would also welcome new ideas for projects.
