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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent progress has been made on Sheffield City Region’s bid to the Delivery Vehicles Competition.

In October 2019 the Government launched the New Development Corporation Competition which invites ambitious proposals from local authorities to support transformational housing and economic growth opportunities, focusing on regeneration. Funding will help places explore delivery models that have been less commonly used in a contemporary context, such as development corporations. We have received a number of bids into the competition and will be making further announcements.
