Platform4 merges two railway property teams to streamline brownfield development, aiming to attract over £350 million in private investment and deliver 15,000 homes in five years, officials said.
- The government aims to build up to 40,000 new homes on disused railway land, attracting £350m in private investment to create vibrant new communities with shops, green spaces and hotels.
- Industry groups warn that plans face obstacles including strains on infrastructure, construction backlogs, and regulatory delays holding up at least 40,000 new homes.
