Rural Affordable Housing - Lets Shape It Together Event
Rural County Durham is facing a pressing shortage of affordable housing. With the government setting ambitious housebuilding targets, including a 53% increase for our area, now is the time for rural communities to get involved to influence where and how housing is built.

This is your opportunity to:

- Learn how recent policy changes can support affordable housing in your area.
- Gain insights into best practices and tools like Neighbourhood Plans to guide development.
Who is this event for?

- Residents of rural County Durham
- Architects
Speakers include:
- Susan Tron MBE, Rural Housing Enabler, Durham Community Action
