Housing: Ebbsfleet
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of delivery of new housing by the Ebbsfleet Development Corporation; and whether that corporation has a target for new homes to be completed in this Parliament.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The role of Ebbsfleet Development Corporation (EDC) is to facilitate delivery of up to 15,000 homes at Ebbsfleet Garden City. To date, over 5,000 new homes have been completed.
EDC publishes annual business plans that show over the last five years, an average of over 550 homes have been delivered per annum, exceeding the Corporation’s annual targets in each of these years.
The next EDC business plan will be published in due course.
