Homes England intends to bring to market more than 1,250 hectares of development opportunities over the next 12 months.
The government’s national housing agency has published its latest Land Development and Disposal Plan, which details the nationwide portfolio of sites it plans to market for development.
For the first time an interactive map is available alongside the Development and Disposal plan allowing users to identify sites geographically and to view site-level details, including red-line plans, online.
To support its ambitious disposal plans, Homes England will provide improved technical packs and site information as well as a standard Building Lease to ensure a consistent approach across the country.
These will incorporate clear approaches to the pace of build-out, Modern Methods of Construction, design and quality of place and tenure mix.
Stephen Kinsella, Executive Director - Land at Homes England, said: “As part of Homes England’s expanded remit, we will be much more active in the land market, using our increased resources to ramp up the acquisition of land opportunities and developing new ways to partner other government departments to bring forward more sites more quickly.
"We are ambitious about our disposals for the year ahead so we’re really keen to talk to developers about the opportunities in our latest plan.”
The publication of the Land Development and Disposal Plan follows the news that Homes England is launching a new framework that will help speed up the delivery of new homes, which will be in place in the autumn.
The procurement of a new Multidisciplinary and Technical Services Frameworks will broaden the technical and design services available to support Homes England and other public bodies to accelerate the supply of new homes, with the frameworks providing direct access to the professional, technical and design services needed to prepare land for housing development.
