Galliford Try Homes comments on government plans to end garden grabbing and density targets.

Ian Baker, Group Managing Director for Housebuilding at Galliford Try Homes, comments on government plans to end gardens being designated as brownfield land and density targets:

“Residential development on this classification of brownfield land has been an important part of delivering housing in the South East. It would be naïve to think that this new ruling will somehow open up opportunities for development on other brownfield land which is either not released by the local authority or unviable for use due to the high clean-up costs.

“Minimum density targets should still be in place as guidance to ensure the best use of land in context of the local area and to allow developers to respond to market demand and build the homes that people want to live in.”
