On 22nd December 2011 the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) published its Programme Prospectus for the £420m Get Britain Building fund, originally announced on 21st November 2011 as part of the Government’s Housing Strategy for England.
Get Britain Building is intended to unlock stalled sites with planning permission to support construction activity and provide new homes. It is intended to address difficulties in accessing development finance faced by some housebuilders and to help bring forward marginal sites by sharing risk.
The programme is open to all private sector organisations which control land and can develop at least 25 homes on a ‘stalled site’ by December 2014.
An expression of interest should be submitted to the Homes and Communities Agency by noon on 30th January 2012.
For further information and bid criteria please click on the Get Britain Building link under 'other websites' to the right of the page.
Should any organisation wish to express an interest in this programme once they have read the HCA’s guidance please contact the Council’s Housing Enabling team on 01454 865599.
