Following the government's announcement today on the second phase of the New Homes Accelerator, please see below a comment from Andy Hill at The Hill Group on this announcement.

Flagship accelerator unlocks 125,000 homes and takes on new sites - GOV.UK

Andy Hill OBE, Founder and Group Chief Executive of The Hill Group, said:

“We strongly support the government's expansion of the New Homes Accelerator into its second phase, which is a welcome step forward in tackling the barriers delaying housing delivery. Unlocking over 125,000 homes shows the impact that coordinated government action and collaboration with industry can have in turning stalled sites into homes. The focus on priority growth areas, including the Oxford Cambridge Growth Corridor, alongside support for smaller sites and a renewed push in London, is critical if we are to build at the pace this Parliament requires. With a strong track record across the South of England, including delivering high quality placemaking at Knights Park and Marleigh Park in Cambridge, and Dagenham Green in partnership with Peabody in east London, The Hill Group is closely aligned with these ambitions and looks forward to continuing to work with our partners on the delivery of 1.5 million new homes.”
