A new strategy aimed at tackling the housing crisis and accelerating housebuilding across the North East has been approved by mayor Kim McGuinness.
The mayor’s Plan for Homes sets out a ten-year programme to deliver more than 15,000 social and affordable homes while unlocking sites that have remained undeveloped because of funding, infrastructure and viability challenges.
Approved by the North East Mayoral Combined Authority Cabinet, the strategy is designed to support the delivery of high-quality, energy-efficient homes, alongside wider regeneration and investment across the region.
