Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much Housing Infrastructure Fund funding has been allocated by Homes England to Forward Fund projects, by region.
We have announced nine successful Forward Funding projects so far, totalling over £1.3 billion of grant funding for infrastructure that will unlock up to 77,000 homes across the country. The breakdown of this announced funding is as follows: £540.7 million for projects in Greater London, £313 million for projects the South East, £227 million for a project in the East of England, £123.7 million for projects in the North West and £102.6 million for projects in the South West. These schemes will provide a range of infrastructure to support local communities including road improvements, health facilities and new schools. Further successful funded bids will be announced over the coming months.
