Now we\u2019re planning to build a new generation of new towns, opening up the expansion of our most dynamic cities and raise up new communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">&#8220;Our economic plan is the right one. Through stability, investment and reform we are building a stronger and more secure economy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A cut down from original plans<\/h3>\n<p>The New Towns Taskforce released their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/potential-new-towns-revealed-taskforce-report\/155589\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first report in September<\/a> last year, where they originally recommended 12 locations for new towns, meaning five locations have been cut:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Adlington, Cheshire East<\/strong> \u2013 A standalone development<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heyford Park, Cherwell<\/strong> \u2013 Redeveloping a former airbase<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marlcombe, East Devon<\/strong> \u2013 A standalone development<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plymouth<\/strong> \u2013 A densified development<\/li>\n<li><strong>Worcestershire Parkway, Wychavon<\/strong> \u2013 An expanded development<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is likely that these developments were deemed unviable in comparison to the seven, supported by the two standalone developments having been cut. These would need fresh infrastructure, including water and power systems, schools, links and roads, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The redevelopment of the former airbase in Cherwell is somewhat more surprising, however, and calls into question the government\u2019s commitment to prioritising brownfield and grey-belt land.<\/p>\n<p>The cutting of the Worcestershire Parkway, Wychavon, has also been somewhat offset by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/new-town-homes-expansion-confirmed-homes-england\/158382\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expansion of homes in Wychavon Town<\/a>, another new town. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/homes-england\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Homes England<\/a> announced the boost of 5,500 homes in the town centre and the south in January.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the cutting of several locations, Josh Risso-Gill, partner in the Planning, Infrastructure and Environment team of international law firm Charles Russell Speechlys, said: &#8220;Both nationally and in the capitol the Government is presiding over a generational low point in housing starts, with 342,100 new homes against its target of 1.5 million this Parliament. So the timing of its new towns announcement is unsurprising with the crucial imminent local elections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In London, where funding and development costs has virtually stopped housebuilding, two new \u2018towns\u2019 are set to deliver 36,000 new homes \u2013 eventually. The reduction to seven from the original list of twelve new towns shows the challenges of building at scale in the UK. The Government has to succeed with the new homes programme if it is to have any chance of hitting its 1.5 million target. But the challenges are significant, particularly the procurement and funding of adequate infrastructure, meeting increasingly stringent environmental and biodiversity standards and assembling the land for development.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For example, despite being allocated as a new settlement for more than 10,000 new homes in the local plan some years ago, the Chelmsford Garden Community remains unbuilt. For the Government to claim that three of the new town projects will be underway by 2029 seems wildly optimistic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seven new towns are under consideration by the government, down from the original 12 recommended by the New Towns Taskforce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":160384,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[276,572,172995],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-160382","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-government","9":"tag-housebuilding","10":"tag-new-towns"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Locations of seven new towns under consideration<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Seven new towns are under consideration by the government, down from the original 12 recommended by the New Towns Taskforce\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/locations-of-seven-new-towns-under-consideration\/160382\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Locations of seven new towns under consideration\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Seven new towns are under consideration by the government, down from the original 12 recommended by the New Towns Taskforce\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/locations-of-seven-new-towns-under-consideration\/160382\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
