Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether Homes England has made an assessment of the Housing Infrastructure Fund bids relating to Essex; and if he will make a statement.
We have so far announced nine successful Forward Funding schemes, worth more than £1.3 billion, to unlock up to 76,000 homes. All remaining bids are in assessment. Local authorities will be notified of the outcome of their bids in the coming months.
