Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 07:33 · Archive

Hull and East Yorkshire has signed a landmark housing agreement with Homes England to boost regeneration.

The Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority has signed a landmark housing agreement with Homes England, marking what the government body describes as a major endorsement of progress made by the authority. The Strategic Place Partnership brings together HEYCA, Homes England, Hull City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council to take a coordinated approach to housing and regeneration. The deal makes the region the tenth place in England to be equipped with these powers, following a successful pilot from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.

The partnership means housing developments will be planned together rather than in isolation, with Homes England providing national expertise earlier in the process. It will help planners deliver joined-up infrastructure and investment, ensuring new housing is planned alongside transport, jobs and community needs. Mayor Luke Campbell said the longer-term ambition is not simply to build more houses, but to make better use of brownfield and underused land.
