Description

Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG)are requesting information from suppliers, please see the attached for further details. DCLG has made a commitment to Parliament (the Public Accounts Committee (PAC)) to monitor the number of homes built on land released by Government under the Public Land for Housing Programme. The Authority has committed to "monitor the broad progress developers are making on land released by the public sector in this parliament, including build out." (Appendix 1&2 - NAO and PAC reports 2016). The first programme ran from 2011-2015, and also included land released before 2011 back to 1997. The second programme began in May 2015, and ends in March 2020, by which time it is estimated that across both programmes land with capacity for 269,000 homes will have been released by government across more than 2000 sites. A large proportion of sites have capacity for fewer than 20 homes. There are also sites with capacity for many thousands of homes where construction will take many years, and sites may be sub-divided and developed in phases, complicating the task of tracking development.
