This government has pledged in its 2015 commitment to deliver 1 million homes by the end of 2020, and a further half a million more by the end of 2022. These new measures proposed will help local areas have an open conversation about the number of new homes needed, and make sure we build more houses in the places they are needed to provide for a growing population.
The funding, which will be around £5.5 million per year until 2022, will provide communities with specialist support to help develop a Neighbourhood Plan. Neighbourhood Plans gives local communities a real say in the development of their area including where homes, shops, green spaces and offices should be built and how they should look.
The announcement comes as more than 400 successful neighbourhood planning referendums have now taken place across England, driving local growth from Cornwall to Northumberland.
