17 new towns and villages for England
Print Edition
BRITAIN’S government announced plans yesterday to build 17 new towns and villages across the English countryside in a bid to ease a chronic housing shortage.
The new “garden” communities — from Cumbria in the north to Cornwall on England’s southern-most tip — would be part of a scheme to build up to 200,000 homes, said Gavin Barwell, the housing and planning minister.
That would still be a fraction of the million houses the government has said it wants to see built by 2020 in an already densely populated nation.
Successive governments have promised to tackle a shortage that has seen house prices spiral in London and other major cities, out of the reach of many buyers.
The three newly announced towns, with more than 10,000 homes each, would be built near Aylesbury, Taunton and Harlow, the government said. The garden villages would each have 1,500-10,000 properties.
