New Eco-town proposals ahead of Copenhagen

According to the website of Building magazine the Housing minister John Healey has unveiled a new list of second wave eco-town proposals and has set aside £5m for council funding.  The Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) is talking to local authorities in Yeovil, Taunton, South Yorkshire, Leeds, Dearne Valley, and Cornwall to bring forward proposals under the eco-towns planning policy supplement (PPS).

The Housing Minister was quoted by Building as saying that the eco-town funding represents “real and radical momentum to change and to re-think how we design our towns and homes for the future”.
