Ministers have urged local councils to release surplus land for development. Whitehall departments are spearheading the sell off with 430 sites sold to date.
Ministers claim that the Whitehall sell off of brown field sites will allow 68,000 homes to be built. This is equivalent to a town the size of Blackpool. Redundant hospitals and military sites feature prominently among the sites sold off.
