The government, in its Long-Term Plan for Housing, has committed to ‘a new era of regeneration, inner-city densification and housing delivery across England’.

It has also launched visions for growth in London, Leeds and Cambridge. The Spring Budget made further commitments to these cities, allocating funding for London and Leeds and the promise of both a development corporation in and a future long-term funding settlement for Cambridge, to be announced in the next Spending Review.
