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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, when detail on the full conditions for Investment Zones will be published.

The Expression of Interest process for Investment Zones closed on Friday 14 October. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities is now assessing the proposals it received and will announce those sites that have been taken forward for delivery planning in due course.

We have published guidance and FAQs covering the EOI process and the assessment framework on GOV.UK.

Those sites that are taken forward will work with the Government to develop delivery plans and conduct relevant legal assessments to confirm that sites will represent value for money for taxpayers and deliver the objectives of the Investment Zones programme.
