Communities Rewarded For Saying Yes To New Homes

Communities across the country will be rewarded for their part in delivering hundreds of thousands of new homes. Housing Minister Brandon Lewis has published final allocations of New Homes Bonus payments to England’s 353 councils – totalling £1.2 billion this year. This brings the total awarded to councils since the scheme’s introduction to £3.4 billion, for delivering more than 700,000 new homes and conversions, and bringing over 100,000 empty homes back into use. The numbers of empty homes are now at a record low, while housebuilding starts are at a 7-year high. Read more of this press release on the CLG website.
