Housing: Brownfield Sites
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment has been made of the availability of capital funding for brownfield housing developments led by housing associations.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
My Department has made no such specific assessment.
Registered Providers can bid for grant funding for eligible developments through the Social and Affordable Homes Programme, including those on brownfield land.
My Department launched the National Housing Delivery Fund (NHDF) on 1 April 2026. The NHDF will provide c.£5 billion of capital grant funding for infrastructure and land from 2026 to 2030. This includes £1.3 billion allocated through the Integrated Settlement for Established Mayoral Strategic Authorities (EMSAs) to support mayors to deliver more housing over the Spending Review period.
