Housing Zones: Prospectus

The housing zones programme offers the chance to unlock brownfield land that has the potential to provide viable housing schemes. This is through a combination of:
·         long term investment funding
·         planning simplification (eg local development orders)
·         local authority leadership
·         dedicated brokerage support from central government and the Advisory Team for Large Applications (ATLAS) planning support.

Central government is making available £200 million of recoverable investment funding for housing zones in England outside of London.  The prospectus sets out more detail of the funding and bidding process to create housing zones outside of London. Download the prospectus from the CLG website.
