1.8 billion has been earmarked for brownfield land development, community regeneration and new affordable housing projects.

Key Points: 
  • 1.8 billion has been earmarked for brownfield land development, community regeneration and new affordable housing projects.
  • This is before developers begin to see further issues with global supply chains due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
  • The Government subsidy to develop 1,500 hectares of brownfield land to create 160,000 new homes is an open invitation for developers, says Stephen Clark of Finbri development financebroker.
  • This may include both brownfield sites suitable for development and others where developers can enhance biodiversity as an offset for their projects elsewhere.
