A row of newly built, modest two-storey brick homes with pale red and warm buff tones, each with simple pitched roofs of dark slate tiles and solar panels neatly aligned. Compact front gardens feature low native hedging and young trees in mulched beds, separated by low timber fencing. The homes line a quiet, clean cul-de-sac with permeable paving and clearly marked pedestrian paths. Soft late-afternoon natural light casts gentle shadows, highlighting the textures of brick and foliage. Shot at eye level in photographic realism, with a wide-angle lens capturing the entire street, the composition uses the rule of thirds to emphasize both the homes and shared space, conveying stability, dignity, and long-term community stewardship without showing any people.
A detailed aerial view of a compact neighbourhood of affordable homes arranged around a central green, all set within a semi-rural edge-of-town landscape. The homes are a mix of red-brick terraces and small timber-clad buildings with simple modern lines, energy-efficient roofing, and visible rainwater harvesting barrels. The central green contains a small community building and play area, bordered by native hedges and wildflower patches. Soft overcast daylight creates even, diffused illumination with minimal harsh shadows, supporting a calm, professional mood. Photographic realism with sharp focus throughout and a slightly elevated drone-style perspective shows how the land is used efficiently while preserving open space, illustrating the principle of community-owned land held in perpetuity.

A close-up of a brushed stainless-steel key resting on a neatly stacked bundle of printed housing plans and legal documents on a light oak meeting table. The key sits on top of a document titled “Community Land Trust Long-Term Lease Agreement” in clear, professional typography, while coloured site layout diagrams and elevation drawings fan out beneath. A small, understated North Horsham CLT logo appears in the corner of the top page. Soft window light from the left creates subtle reflections along the key’s edges and a gentle gradient across the paper. Photographic realism, shallow depth of field, and an eye-level composition focus attention on the key and document, symbolising secure, locally affordable homes and robust governance, in a calm, businesslike atmosphere.
