The Government has identified a large number of housing schemes where progress is behind plan.

There are a wide variety of site-specific reasons as to why the schemes in question are either not progressing at the pace required or have stalled entirely.

Through the accelerator taskforce, barriers to development on such schemes will be identified and where appropriate the necessary support will then be provided to accelerate delivery, including funding in some instances.
