One of the things that drove me into looking at this—I have already mentioned knocking on doors and speaking to people and their sense of missing out simply because they lived in a rural village—was Rendlesham in Suffolk, which is principally built on former US Air Force housing stock attached to RAF Bentwaters, which was handed over and as a consequence has been designated a growth village in the local plan. At the same time, there are housing associations in other parts of what might be considered leafy counties. There are examples of where the housing association is selling off housing association homes in a market tender through an auction, not a process where people can get a mortgage in order to bid in it, in order, it says, to be able to build more homes elsewhere.
