A new study reveals critical factors affecting rural affordable housing supply and proposes solutions.

Trent & Dove and Rural Housing Solutions have published a new report, “There’s a Will—Here’s the Way,” illuminating the significant challenges and opportunities in dThe report draws on in-depth interviews with 11 Registered Providers (RPs), including Strategic Partners and non-strategic Partners.

Key findings reveal that while there is a willingness to develop rural housing, barriers such as financial viability, additional rural-specific costs, and planning delays impede progress.

Our findings demonstrate that housing providers are willing to build in rural areas but face significant financial and logistical challenges. To overcome these, we need targeted policies, improved grant funding, and stronger planning support.

This report calls on Homes England, government departments, and local authorities to act decisively to ensure rural housing development becomes a priority and that these communities do not continue to be left behind.
