Nathan Emerson, CEO of Propertymark, comments on the UK Government announcement that thousands of new homes will be built as it unlocks £68 million of brownfield sites.
Sirs,
It's positive to see the UK Government recognise the importance of taking a 'brownfield first approach' as it ramps up provision regarding the pledge of over 1.5 million new homes throughout the course of this parliamentary term.
With an ever-growing population, there must be consideration towards bringing prime vacant sites back into circulation before ever dipping into using greenbelt land as a remedy to ensure a strong flow of new housing stock reaches the marketplace where needed.
Nathan Emerson
Chief Executive Officer,
Propertymark
