A total of 79 projects across England will share in a £45m pot of Land Release Fund money, designed to pay for infrastructure that makes house-building projects viable.
The 79 schemes are all on council-owned land and collectively plan to deliver 7,280 new-build homes. They were chosen from 143 bids received.
The Land Release Fund, which comes out of the overarching £5bn Housing Infrastructure Fund, is administered through a partnership of the Local Government Association and Cabinet Office’s One Public Estate (OPE) programme.
Projects being allocated support in this round include:
A development in Poulton-Le-Fylde, Lancashire, is getting £1.7m to build new roads, roundabouts, and utility services, which will unlock up to 330 homes potentially built with Japanese modular housing techniques.
A project in Worcester is getting £750,000 to demolish a leisure centre and undergo asbestos decontamination works near its city centre, helping to unlock up to 50 homes.
A scheme in Paignton, Devon, is getting £1.9m to support construction of a 350-metre sewer, drainage upgrades and two new roads. This will help unlock up to 200 homes.
