Homes England Unveils Ambitious 2025–2030 Strategic Plan to Accelerate Housing Delivery

Published: December 2025

Homes England has launched its new Strategic Plan for 2025–2030, setting out a bold five‑year roadmap to transform housing delivery, boost regeneration, and support the creation of high‑quality, sustainable communities across England. The plan marks one of the most significant shifts in the agency’s approach to date, aligning closely with the government’s national ambition of delivering 1.5 million new homes during the current Parliament.

At the heart of the strategy are six core objectives, which include significantly accelerating new housing supply, delivering the largest increase in social and affordable homes in a generation, unlocking new institutional investment, and empowering local leaders to drive place‑based regeneration. The plan emphasises greater flexibility, longer‑term funding, and tailored support for partners—particularly small and medium‑sized builders and strategic local authorities.

The agency forecasts a doubling of annual housing completions, rising from around 40,000 in 2025/26 to more than 80,000 completions per year by 2029/30. It also plans to unlock land capable of supporting an additional 400,000 homes, underpinned by a strengthened regional operating model and the establishment of a new National Housing Bank.

A key feature of the plan is a reshaped investment strategy, supported by a newly published Investment Roadmap. This roadmap will guide institutional capital into large‑scale regeneration and mixed‑use schemes, helping overcome long‑standing viability challenges and expanding the supply of homes across all tenures.

Housing Secretary Steve Reed welcomed the plan, calling it a “new phase of collaboration

and delivery at scale,” while Homes England Chair Pat Ritchie highlighted its focus on innovation, design quality, environmental sustainability, and building safety. Together, the Strategic Plan and Investment Roadmap set the foundation for a more dynamic, diverse, and resilient housing sector designed to meet England’s future needs.
