£35 million Brownfield Land Release Fund 2 allocated to 41 councils across England for regeneration in towns and cities.

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities has announced details of 41 local authorities across England that will receive a share of the Brownfield Land Release Fund 2.

Almost £35 million from the £180 million Brownfield Land Release Fund 2 has been allocated to 41 councils for regeneration in towns and cities.

The funding will bring unloved, council-owned land back into use by transforming redundant industrial sites, disused car parks and derelict buildings into new places for people to live.

A total of 59 regeneration projects from Exeter to Sunderland will see over 2,200 homes – including over 800 affordable homes – built for local communities. This is designed to help more young people and families onto the housing ladder and generate up to 7000 new jobs in housing and construction.

This forms the first phase of £180 million Brownfield Land Release Fund which will continue to be rolled out over next two years

The Brownfield Land Release Fund 2 will be delivered through the One Public Estate – a partnership between the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, the Office of Government Property and the Local Government Association.
