Government intends to create a £1 billion fund to unlock homes on brownfield land for additional housing, and ensure that brownfield land is used as much as possible for new development.

We are clear that brownfield land that is suitable for housing has a vital role to play in meeting the need for new homes, and ensuring that the Green Belt is protected. The Government is committed to releasing surplus public sector land with capacity for up to 150,000 homes by 2020.
