Ministers will be urged to find thousands of acres of
state-owned land to create more sites for housebuilding. Greg Clark, the new
Communities Secretary, wants to use the land for 150,000 homes by 2020. He will
tell departments across Whitehall they need to ‘loosen their grip’ on sites
that are lying idle. It could see homes being built on land owned by the NHS or
the Ministry of Defence. Over the past
five years, Whitehall departments released enough land to build 103,000 new
homes, but Mr Clark is understood to want more. Read more on the Daily Mail
website.
