WHAT IS MARSHFIELD CLT ?
MCLT is a local Community Benefit Society. It can hold assets on behalf of the community, it is not for profit and democratically accountable to its members. It has support from Marshfield Parish Council and South Gloucestershire Council.
We believe in i) collective action for community benefit, ii) working towards net zero, iii) partnership working with other organisations, iv) small scale community led development.
Its current priorities are
i) affordable housing for local people with a focus on social housing ( Wheatfield Barns)
ii) locally generated clean energy and energy conservation.

UPDATE ON WHEATFIELD BARNS September 20th 2025 .
The legal delay associated with the electricity substation has been cleared and we expected the electricity to be activated this week but the storms of Monday 15th have meant this has been delayed while emergences are dealt with. Keep checking here for updates.
HomeChoice wait until they know that the final building stage is underway before publishing the adverts for the rental homes so we expect that to be in 2-3 weeks SO KEEP CHECKING the HomeChoice site.
Applicants with a local connection to Marshfield and a housing need will be given priority in the allocation of all Wheatfield Barns homes. Details of allocation criteria are available under RECENT POSTS .
