Housing: Worcester

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 8 July 2024, for what reasons the project at Worcester Parkway was stalled; and whether her Department plans to provide additional funding to that project.

Answer

The Government has identified a large number of housing schemes where progress is behind plan.

There are a wide variety of site-specific reasons as to why the schemes in question are either not progressing at the pace required or have stalled entirely.

Through the accelerator taskforce, barriers to development on such schemes will be identified and where appropriate the necessary support will then be provided to accelerate delivery, including funding in some instances.
