The UK government, led by Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook, has announced plans to initiate work on new towns before the next general election. More than 100 locations across England have been proposed, with at least 10,000 homes planned for each site. The initiative is part of a broader goal to build 1.5 million homes by 2029, emphasizing affordable housing and essential infrastructure. While construction is projected to begin soon, Pennycook noted that establishing new towns is a complex process that will take time. This program aims to tackle housing shortages and stimulate economic growth.
The aim is for each new town to have at least 10,000 homes, contributing towards the 1.5 million Labour has pledged to get built by 2029.
Pennycook described it as a transformational programme that he expected to make a contribution to housing numbers in this Parliament.
