Housing secretary reveals new garden communities programme

Castle Hill, Ebbsfleet

But James Brokenshire has not confirmed funding for the scheme

Housing secretary James Brokenshire has unveiled his department’s new garden communities programme.

The programme, which is part of government’s ambition to build 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s, aims to see more high quality homes built and green spaces created.

Councils across England and private developers who have secured support from local authorities will be able to apply for a place on the programme, with the three month application process beginning yesterday [15 June].
