Homes in England have signed an agreement with York and North Yorkshire to promote new home construction in the area.
The Government Housing Authority said the new strategic venue partnership will use the body’s “funds, capabilities and expertise” in the region to “unlock major housing and regeneration programs.”
The deal will focus on a range of developments throughout the region, including Maltkiln, a new 4,000-home project between York and Harrogate, centered around Cattal Railway Station.
The couple also plans to work on the Elvington Garden Village Project, a settlement for about 4,000 new homes in York Green Belt.
It follows projects already underway between the two bodies, such as York Central, one of the country’s largest downtown regeneration sites, with the potential for up to 2,500 new homes.
“Our strategic position partnership with York and North Yorkshire demonstrates our commitment to working with local leaders and our commitment to driving real growth in their communities,” said Pat Ritchie, England Family Chairman.
York Mayor and North Yorkshire Mayor David Skaith added: “In York and North Yorkshire, we are in the midst of a housing crisis, with some of the most expensive homes in the UK.
“In our area, there are over 10,000 families on the housing waiting list and we have to act immediately.”
“Bringing England, our council and key organizations together through the York and North Yorkshire strategic location partnership will help us all realize our shared vision to build the building.”
House of England says it now has nine strategic position partnerships with the mayor of England’s strategic authorities.
