The aim is to deliver up to 6,000 new homes along the Bristol to Bath strategic corridor.

Following an initial £8m investment from the MCA, Homes England will commit £36m to brownfield sites in central Bath to deliver a further 1,000 homes.

Homes England and the MCA will work on a shared plan to accelerate growth in the West of England while advancing their existing partnership projects, like Bristol Temple Quarter, with a renewed focus.

Bristol Temple Quarter is a regeneration project around Bristol Temple Meads Station, with the aim of delivering 10,000 new homes.

This development is backed by £95m of government support.

“We’ll work side-by-side with the MCA through our strengthened partnership to deliver ambitious housing and regeneration programmes that speak to regional priorities.”

Helen Godwin, the mayor of the West of England, added: “Working with Homes England and local council leaders to deliver the right homes in the right places, with the services and infrastructure that people need and deserve.”
