Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will publish a breakdown by local authority of the £50 million brownfield land fund for Greater Manchester announced at the end of March 2018.

The Greater Manchester housing package supports the Government’s brownfield first policy as well as helping small and medium sized builders and tackling the large number of complex, small sites prevalent in the area. The housing package will deliver 227,200 homes by 2035 and provide Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) with the tools to unlock a sustainable pipeline of homes. The housing package includes Government’s commitment to provide a Land Fund of up to £50 million to provide support for the remediation of brownfield land for housing. The land fund should deliver at least 4200 homes and will be subject to value for money assurance.

We are still working closely with GMCA on the detailed delivery plan.
