Rural is affordable

Series: DEFRA News Release ; (509/04) 8 December 2004 (3)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: DEFRA has launched its five year plan. Its challenge is to support sustainable communities - by having a high quality environment, fair access to local services, and tackling rural social exclusion. More affordable homes are needed in order to allow rural children to be able to afford to live in towns and villages where they were brought up. Included in the plan is the rural exceptions policy which will allows councils to give planning permission to much needed affordable homes in rural areas. For further details on the five year plan see the website. http://www.defra.gov.uk
