Homes England has signed a Strategic Place Partnership (SPP) with York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority (YNYCA) to catalyse the delivery of the region’s housing and regeneration goals.
The partnership formalises the alignment of YNYCA’s strategic priorities with the broad range of Homes England’s tools, including funding, capacity and expertise.
Teams from YNYCA and Homes England will now work together to unlock significant housing and regeneration plans in the area.
The SPP will build on the collaboration already happening on projects like York Central, one of the country’s largest city centre regeneration sites with the potential for up to 2,500 new homes.
Homes England will work collaboratively with YNYCA to boost the availability of new and affordable homes for York and North Yorkshire residents.
Pat Ritchie CBE, Chair of Homes England, said: "Our Strategic Place Partnership with the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority signals our commitment to working with, and for, local leaders to drive real growth in their communities.
"In York, for example, we are already working with partners including Network Rail, the City of York Council and the National Railway Museum to drive forward the transformation of York Central, one of the UK’s largest brownfield sites, into new homes, cultural spaces and infrastructure."
David Skaith, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, said: "Across York and North Yorkshire, we are in the midst of a housing crisis, with some of the most expensive homes in the UK. With over 10,000 households on housing waiting lists in our region, we must act now."
"We need to build the right homes in the right places, ensuring people in all our towns, cities and villages can stay and live in our region.
"Bringing together Homes England, our councils and key organisations through the York and North Yorkshire Strategic Place Partnership will help us all deliver on our shared vision to get building."
