Housing Minister Mark Prisk has announced the fund which
will offer additional support to people with plans and ideas for their
neighbourhood, from self-build homes to community shops. The minister said the money will ensure that
those wishing to realise their vision will no longer be put off building by the
challenges of design and permissions. Until now, the £17 million pot was
earmarked solely to help Community Right to Build projects develop their
proposals. But to ensure that local building plans can access the same support,
whatever route they take, Mr Prisk has expanded the scheme to include any
community project. This means that
communities who want to make a change in their area, such as creating a new
playground, renovating an empty home or making plots available for house
building will be able to access the money they need to develop plans and make
it happen. Read more on the Govuk website.
