The New Homes Accelerator aims to unblock and accelerate the delivery of housing developments that have for various reasons become delayed, or which are not progressing as quickly as they could be.
the New Homes Accelerator will:
• identify and address specific thematic issues causing delays, such as coordination failures, regulatory obstacles, and local authority capacity constraints;
• deploy expert teams to provide on-the-ground support to local authorities, offering planning and enabling assistance to expedite the development process;
• utilise its resources to unblock and accelerate delivery on sites that are facing delays or not progressing as quickly as they could be;
• inform future reforms to housing and planning policy, where policy barriers to rapid housing delivery are identified.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is launching a call for evidence. Developers, local authorities and landowners are invited to identify large-scale housing developments that are delayed or stuck so the government can better understand the scale of the challenge and evaluate what support it can provide to help overcome barriers to development and accelerate delivery.
