The New Towns Taskforce is an independent expert advisory panel appointed by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government in September 2024 to support the government to deliver the next generation of new towns. The Taskforce has been asked to make recommendations to government on the location and delivery of new towns and will deliver a final shortlist of site recommendations this summer.
This interim update, published on behalf of the Taskforce, provides an update from the Taskforce on its progress in developing recommendations for a new generation of new towns, outlining the programme’s unique benefits, vision and aims, as well as publishing its emerging principles for what makes a great new town.
