Cornwall Council, GB unlocks vacant lots for affordable housing projects with local building pilot

Cornwall Council, GB Local Building Small Lots Pilot

Council officials and government-backed group Local Partnerships secure lots capable of holding up to 10 homes. Local builders typically priced or scaled out of development projects are invited by the council to build new homes. Cornwall Council pays for construction, owns the homes, and leases the properties at affordable rates. This pilot supports small-scale builders who struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic while expanding housing inventory.
