Abstract
Land cost is a major barrier to the delivery of affordable housing in rural England. In response, planning authorities can grant exceptional permission for homes on unallocated land. ‘Rural exception sites’ may come forward where local need is established, where a community supports development, and where a landowner appears willing to sell at a price that supports affordability. This review examines the negotiated land deals at the centre of exception schemes. Because landowners’ price expectations frequently undermine project viability, a case is presented for using new powers for compulsorily purchasing land at near existing use value for small rural schemes.
