The Government is clear that public bodies should use their estates as efficiently as possible. This includes disposing of land where it is surplus to requirements.

A reformed Right to Regenerate will help people and communities better hold public bodies to account, challenging them to use public land effectively and to dispose of it where it can be put to a better use.
