With the 2025 Spending Review on the horizon, it is vital that ministers recognise that increased access to grant funding for sites in the North will be essential if it is to meet its ambition of seeing 1.5 million homes delivered during this Parliament. At present, too many sites across the North do not stack up financially. Due to comparatively low values and high costs, sites ideally located for new homes are left undeveloped. In response, alongside Cavendish and Place North West, Lichfields is participating in a campaign for a discretionary grant aid programme for the North of England to help deliver the homes we need. The campaign, launched today, seeks to ensure that the Northern property market has a unified voice to take this key housing delivery issue directly to Downing Street.
The viability gap is blocking the North from delivering the homes we need. We have listened to the industry and are taking action. Today we are launching a campaign in partnership with Cavendish and Lichfields UK to take this important issue to Downing Street. With the 2025 Spending Review on the horizon, it is vital ministers recognise that increased access to grant funding for sites in the North will be essential in meeting the ambition to build 1.5 million homes during this Parliament. Become a signatory for our Mind the Gap campaign today and make your voice heard. https://lnkd.in/gzJyj8ka
