Local leaders in West Yorkshire have promised that a new deal will see the delivery of thousands of new homes.

Homes England has partnered with West Yorkshire Combined Authority to boost the delivery of housing throughout all five districts of the region.

The Strategic Place Partnership follows successful pilots of the initiative in Greater Manchester and South Essex.

Tracy Brabin, mayor of West Yorkshire, said: ‘I’m thrilled to have secured this fantastic opportunity to work in partnership with Homes England, which will take us forward in our journey towards achieving good quality and truly affordable housing growth in West Yorkshire.

‘We have ambitious plans to create and grow vibrant communities and support an ever-growing population, addressing decades of underinvestment in the region.

‘The partnership will allow us to build on the progress made so far, and bring vital resources directly to West Yorkshire, ensuring a better quality of life for people throughout the region.’

Peter Denton,?chief executive of Homes England, said: ‘We enjoy a fantastic working relationship with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.

‘This Strategic Place Partnership agreement builds on this, helping the Mayor to deliver her housing and regeneration priorities and create thriving new and renewed places that the people of West Yorkshire seek.’
