I for one would welcome any regional funding that developers can get their hands on to plug the funding gap on many of the derelict sites in our district that can't get off the ground. Shame London once again is getting the lions share!
I would also be fine with 95% of these sites in my district being given outline planning permission by the local development orders as planning conditions/supporting information can be sorted out at the detailed stage of the planning process.
It's good for the local economy, helps protect our green built and will contribute to the lack of housing in the country.
Kind Regards

Sound to me like they want to put "affordable" homes on dodgy brownfield in order to limit building in the leafy shires. Green and pleasent land for some at least.
Wonder if any of these housing zones are in Brent?
