Why these rules
Build to rent is purpose-built housing, typically all rented, in single ownership and professionally managed (NPPF, August 2026, glossary); schemes average 144 homes complete and 292 in planning (industry figures, Q2 2026), so they go where a station and a busy bus network serve a town with a rental market: here, a council where 17% or more of households rent privately; about 20% is affordable private rent at least 20% below market rents (Planning Practice Guidance, Build to rent, May 2026).
Woodland is left out.
