300,000 homes from 200 sites…. All big projects and delivery on these would likely be achieved over 7-10 years so that’s 10% of the target sorted. The interesting point here is the Government stepping in and indeed on local authorities and taking major decisions away from them. How will the LAs respond? Will it make them easier to deal with for us SME housebuilders/developers? The volume housebuilders can’t or won’t deliver huge amounts of extra homes, that’s down to us with our 1s,2s, 10s or ? Of course it’s only “intent” at the moment, details of the location, size and reason for hold up hasn’t been shared, possibly not actually known as yet…..see photo https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-homes-accelerator-to-unblock-thousands-of-new-homes
