New Housing and Planning Delivery Grant Boosts Sussex Farmland Values
Summary:
The introduction of a new housing and planning delivery grant is driving up land prices in Sussex Farmland.Article:
In an effort to boost housing supply, ministers have initiated consultations on a new Housing and Planning Delivery Grant (HPDG), inspired by the Barker Review's recommendations. This development is pushing land prices higher in Sussex Farmland.
As various land investment companies begin selling farmland in Sussex, the government has clarified that this funding will complement local infrastructure investments. Local authorities will gain flexibility to invest in their areas and retain additional council tax revenues from new homes. Known for its natural beauty and historic buildings, Sussex Farmland is becoming more attractive to investors.
Given this trend, investors face a key decision: should they acquire more land, sell their current holdings, or wait for values to potentially increase further?
A recent consultation document from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) outlined the measure's objectives:
- Enhance incentives for local authorities to meet housing demands.
- Support increased housing delivery to satisfy local needs.
- Encourage active local authority involvement in new housing projects.
- Return growth benefits to communities through new funding.
- Promote efficient and effective planning processes.
The government plans for this housing incentive to be awarded to local planning authorities and urban development corporations (UDCs). Payments are expected to commence in 2008, coinciding with the conclusion of the existing Planning Delivery Grant (PDG) regime.
