Brownfield Housing Fund Applications open for the build of new homes in South Yorkshire

Applications are open for the Brownfield Housing Fund, which currently stands at c£35m. Private sector developers, Housing associations and other housing developers can submit applications up to Friday 28 October 2022.

As part of the ‘A New Deal for Britain’ strategy, £53m of capital has been allocated to the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) for supporting the development of over 3,300 new homes on brownfield land and through conversions, to be started on site by March 2025.

SYMCA will prioritise schemes based on how well they deliver against the principles of Stronger, Greener, Fairer set out in its Economic Strategic Plan with risks and overall deliverability of schemes also evaluated.

Schemes that adopt innovations and/or raise the quality and standards of homes across South Yorkshire are particularly welcome. This Fund will provide opportunities to support new homes on brownfield sites up to the end of March 2025; however, SYMCA is also interested in discussing longer-term housing development opportunities even if schemes do not meet the BHF criteria.

Funding is available to a wide range of public and private sector partners across the housing sector (subject to the production of a compliant Business Case, as well as Value for Money and Subsidy Control considerations).
