Strengthen regeneration and place-based development by simplifying regeneration delivery, supporting town and city centre viability, and enabling more effective local investment through stronger local capacity and more flexible urban schemes.

Unlock land, vacancy and urban viability by activating brownfield, derelict, vacant and underused sites through stronger powers, better incentives, tax reform and more coordinated reuse and site activation measures.

Scale housing supply and delivery at pace by strengthening accountability, expanding direct delivery, increasing affordable housing output and building long-term capacity for faster housing delivery across regions.
