New Homes Accelerator to speed up construction

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has praised the New Homes Accelerator as a tool to speed up the construction of new homes. The initiative, set up last year, has helped local councils tackle capacity issues in their planning systems and removed regulatory hurdles. It has led to 36,000 new homes being sped up across England, with 63,000 homes also being driven forward. The New Homes Accelerator has dispatched experts to stalled developments across England, aiming to dismantle obstacles to schemes that have been delayed by planning and red tape.
