A new national housing agency for England has been launched as one of the Government’s key steps towards delivering the homes the country needs and driving forward change.
Homes England will replace the Homes and Communities Agency and will have new powers to buy land, particularly resourcing brown field sites for new homes. It will also build on the agency’s planning expertise, according to Housing Secretary Sajid Javid.
