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

To ask Her Majesty's Government how the sustainability criteria of the National Home Building Fund will improve (1) food, (2) land, and (3) the environment, for communities across England.

The National Home Building Fund (NHBF) is made up of programmes of spending which support the regeneration of brownfield sites, unlock homes through provision of infrastructure, and diversify the housing market through support for SMEs, self and custom builders and modern methods of construction. The primary objective of NHBF is to support proposals that will deliver new homes and unlock housing supply. We will set out further criteria for NHBF funding in due course.
