Objectives

Crystal Palace Community Land Trust aims to steward land to provide affordable homes, workspace and other community assets, building local resilience and sustainability.

High rents and property prices make living, or running a business, in Crystal Palace difficult. Too many people live in overcrowded or unsuitable homes, or have to move away because they can't afford the area any more. Our work is currently focused on providing affordable and environmentally friendly homes for local people, and in the longer term our vision is to bring more homes, business units and land into community ownership so that we can collectively safeguard the future of our community.

We are part of Crystal Palace Transition Town, a community led response to the climate emergency.

Activities

Our current focus is on a project to build affordable homes on a piece of land on a street called The Lawns, in the Croydon part of Crystal Palace. We are working with Croydon Council, the current landowner, to bring this scheme forward.
