North Horsham Community Land Trust (NHCLT)

Our Trustees

Meet our board of volunteers who oversee NHCLT projects, ensuring residents have a voice in decisions and a stake in local assets.

A close-up of a brushed stainless-steel key resting on a neatly stacked bundle of printed housing plans and legal documents on a light oak meeting table. The key sits on top of a document titled “Community Land Trust Long-Term Lease Agreement” in clear, professional typography, while coloured site layout diagrams and elevation drawings fan out beneath. A small, understated North Horsham CLT logo appears in the corner of the top page. Soft window light from the left creates subtle reflections along the key’s edges and a gentle gradient across the paper. Photographic realism, shallow depth of field, and an eye-level composition focus attention on the key and document, symbolising secure, locally affordable homes and robust governance, in a calm, businesslike atmosphere.
A row of newly built, modest two-storey brick homes with pale red and warm buff tones, each with simple pitched roofs of dark slate tiles and solar panels neatly aligned. Compact front gardens feature low native hedging and young trees in mulched beds, separated by low timber fencing. The homes line a quiet, clean cul-de-sac with permeable paving and clearly marked pedestrian paths. Soft late-afternoon natural light casts gentle shadows, highlighting the textures of brick and foliage. Shot at eye level in photographic realism, with a wide-angle lens capturing the entire street, the composition uses the rule of thirds to emphasize both the homes and shared space, conveying stability, dignity, and long-term community stewardship without showing any people.

Origins and Mission

Since its formation in 2020, NHCLT has worked with parish councils and partners to try and secure land, resources, and funding for locally affordable homes.

A thoughtfully designed community hub building in North Horsham, constructed with a mix of red brick and horizontal timber cladding, standing on a landscaped corner plot. Large, high-efficiency windows reflect nearby trees and low-rise homes, while a discreet sign near the entrance reads “Community Land Trust Hub” in modern, understated lettering. Raised planters with pollinator-friendly shrubs and herbs flank an accessible ramp with metal handrails. Warm early-evening light washes the facade, creating soft highlights on the timber grain and brick texture. Photographic realism with an eye-level, slightly angled composition uses the rule of thirds to balance the building and surrounding greenery, evoking a welcoming yet professional atmosphere that suggests local partnership, shared assets, and long-term community benefit.
