The government has committed to dispose of public sector land with capacity for 150,000 homes by 2020. Meeting this goal is vital for securing the government’s high ambitions to support housing supply and affordability, while prioritising the use of brownfield land.

As part of the Spending Review process HM Treasury will be working with departments on their contributions to the overall target.
