| Annotation | In 2000, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) launched a major study on rural Britain, "Exclusive countryside", prepared by Mark Shucksmith. As a follow-up to that work, the JRF set up the Rural Housing Policy Forum in 2005 to consider the issues around the problem of shortages of affordable housing in rural areas and to suggest remedies. This summary outlines the solutions, for example, better use of the existing housing stock, and the need to allocate sites for affordable housing in larger rural settlements. It also recommends removal of an unintended loophole in the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2003. (RH). |
