How we're managed
NCLT governance model
We are a community benefit society with charitable status, working to secure resources that we can invest in the long-term future of the local community of the Nadder Valley Area without taking profit from it. We will achieve this through solid contractual arrangements with public, voluntary sector organisations and with private organisations and landowners.
Our objectives
Our overriding objective is to facilitate the small-scale development of affordable homes by the community for the community in the Nadder Valley area.
The work we do is evidence-led, informed by what the local community tells us it wants in terms of affordable homes and what our research tells us is a demonstrable need. And by local community we mean those living and/or working in the area and/or have a local connection.
Affordable homes on their own will not meet the aspirations of the community we aim to serve. We will work to ensure that the infrastructure and facilities that help communities to function effectively are in place too.
We will support initiatives that provide opportunities for training and work. These are key to keeping communities vibrant and sustainable.
To ensure that the Nadder Valley area remains a beautiful place for residents and workers we will do all we can to promote the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment.
Within the unavoidable constraints of what can be afforded for specific schemes at the time, we aspire through the affordable homes we secure for the community to:
Commit to high standards of build quality, creating homes that will last the test of time and have an enduring value to the community;
Create homes with the smallest possible carbon footprint;
Commit to promoting place-making, having regard to the acknowledged vernacular building styles which emphasise the distinctiveness of the local area and the sense of local community
Extend opportunities work for trades people and other service providers.
