Scottish Land & Estates believes that a range of flexible options must be created to deliver local solutions to housing need. Scottish Land & Estates is working to increase the affordable housing supply in rural Scotland by:
-
Increasing effective land supply through planning, infrastructure and stakeholder engagement.
-
Bringing empty and redundant buildings back into use.
-
Working in partnership with public sector bodies.
-
Raising awareness of rural planning policy to facilitate affordable housing, particularly in relation to rural exception sites.
-
Providing advice and guidance on current delivery mechanisms, such as the provision of affordable self build plots with rural housing burdens attached.
-
Supporting those developing properties through the rural homes for rent grant pilot and lobbying the Scottish Government for further funding for this delivery mechanism.
-
Partnership working with other agencies to develop innovative solutions.
-
Exploring the use of legal and planning agreements to deliver affordable housing in perpetuity.
