The New Homes Fact Sheets, developed by Homes England, are a series of key facts and figures on new homes and regeneration, created to support conversations with local communities.
They provide a fact-based resource for everyone to draw upon to effectively communicate the context and processes around new homes and regeneration.
The development of the fact sheet series has involved consultation with local government officers, community groups and industry experts.
