Community Housing Project in Hook Norton

The vast majority of new housing is unsustainable, unfit for purpose, and doesn’t answer the local need.

Possibly one of the biggest issues that results in the poor quality of housing in this country is the discrepancy between the local residents and the new houses that are being built in their community.

Here in Hook Norton we have sought to address this issue through a community led housing scheme which holds the needs of the community at its core.

The project is now on site and donations are being sought to help complete the community building and landscaping.
