£5 Million Fund Will Unlock 100 Brownfield Sites for New Homes

Councils that bring forward brownfield land for development could benefit from a share of £5 million to get work started on the new homes, under new plans. Housing Minister Brandon Lewis said this previously developed land could help pave the way for planning permissions on up to 200,000 new homes across the country. To qualify for the funding, councils will need to consult on a local development order on the land they identify - making it easier and quicker for developers to get work started.
