The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to her Department's press release of 15 October 2024 entitled Thousands of new homes to be built as government unlocks brownfield sites, what the target date is to complete the delivery of 5,200 homes; and whether 5,200 homes is the target for the whole of the 2022-25 Brownfield Land Release Fund 2.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

Round three Brownfield Land Release Fund 2 land release milestones are set for 31 March 2028. Housing is then delivered up to three years after the land release milestone. The 5,200 homes forecast applies only to the Brownfield Land Release Fund 2, round three. The whole of the Brownfield Land Release Fund 2 is forecast to release land for 14,100 homes.
