Written Question
Enterprise Zones: Derelict Land
Tuesday 14th July 2015

Asked by: James Morris (Conservative - Halesowen and Rowley Regis)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what his policy is on prioritising the development of Enterprise Zones on existing brownfield sites.

Answered by Lord Wharton of Yarm

Local Enterprise Partnerships rather than the Government decide which sites should be prioritised for development. A new bidding round for Enterprise Zones was announced by my rt. hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer (George Osborne), in his Budget statement on 8 July. Applications involving the development of brownfield sites will be considered alongside other proposals based on their strategic, economic and financial benefits.
