The main fundamentals are:
1
The community trust is either gifted, purchases or inherits a piece of land. Ownership is held collectively in a not-for-profit trust
2
The community then builds housing, workplaces or shared communal spaces on this land
3
The community ensures all homes sold or rented are genuinely affordable, and kept that way, forever
4
All decisions are made diplomatically and agreed by all members
5
Any money made is invested straight back into the community
