00:02Seven locations have been selected for new towns, expected each to deliver at least 10,000 homes.
00:08The plans include neighbourhoods designed for easier travel without cars, shared green spaces
00:13and busy high streets, according to the government. Some sites could grow much larger with proposals
00:19for tens of thousands of homes in certain areas. Ministers say the developments are intended to
00:25help meet long-term housing demand and to support growing communities. Other locations were
00:32considered but will not go ahead at this stage. The announcement forms part of wider efforts to
00:38increase housing supply and shape how future communities are built and connected.
