The government has published details of 600 acres of
surplus public sector land as part of its drive to deliver tens of thousands of
new homes and boost local growth. Housing Minister Brandon Lewis said it was
further proof that the government was getting the country building again and
urged developers to seize the opportunity and build the homes hard-working
people want and deserve. The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) has more than
80 public land sites for sale and will bring a further 40 more sites to market
over the next 18 months, providing a boost to local economies and a significant
return to the taxpayer. It is estimated
these sites will support more than 5,000 homes as well as land for industry and
business. Over 20% of the sites already have outline or detailed planning
permission. Read more on the CLG website.
