Public Land for Housing Target Exceeded By the HCA

The Homes and Communities Agency has already exceeded its contribution to government’s target to release public land with capacity for 100,000 new homes; and expects to exceed it further by the end of March. As at the end of February, the agency had released land with capacity for 18,307 new homes, across 119 individual sites, against a target of 17,727. The HCA’s contribution – the second largest of any public body – has helped government to exceed its target of land for 100,000 homes, early and by more than 3,000 homes. Of the sites released by the HCA, 48 have already seen development start on site, to support delivery of over 5,600 homes. Read more on the HCA website.
