Build Britain's next generation of towns—fast, at scale, and with a permanent UK supply chain.
National Programme
A national programme to deliver 500,000+ genuinely affordable, high-quality homes across 50+ locations—fast, at scale, and with a permanent UK supply chain.
HOME
Build Britain's next generation of towns
Not piecemeal estates. Not decade-long delays. New Home Towns is a delivery machine: modern, beautiful, walkable places—built faster, cheaper, and to a higher standard—powered by British manufacturing and automation.
Our ambitions
- Deliver 500,000+ homes across 50+ sites nationwide
- Create a sovereign housing supply chain (materials, components, skills)
- Build a UK "homebuilding gigafactory" network with automation and new IP
- Unlock jobs, growth, and local pride—while relieving pressure on existing cities
THE PROBLEM
Britain's housing crisis is now a national capability problem
Costs are high. Delivery is slow. Skills are scarce. Planning is adversarial. Supply chains are fragmented and foreign-dependent. Communities get disruption without benefit—and the country gets delay.
NHT fixes this by treating housing like infrastructure: mission-led, industrialised, repeatable, and accountable.
THE NHT SOLUTION
A new model: Towns as products, not one-off projects
NHT combines three things Britain rarely aligns at once:
1. Land + Planning certainty
A transparent pipeline of sites, with clear national criteria and local benefits.
2. Industrial delivery
Factory-built housing components, standardised platforms, automated production, and rapid on-site assembly—while still allowing local character and design variety.
3. Long-term stewardship
Town governance, maintenance, community assets, and long-term value capture—so places improve over time.
WHAT A NEW HOME TOWN LOOKS LIKE
Built for normal life, not planning drawings
Beautiful streets and human-scale design
Schools, GP, green space, sport and culture from day one
Great transport links and active travel
Mixed tenure: social rent, affordable rent, shared ownership, and market
Net-zero ready homes: low bills, high comfort, resilient materials
Local jobs: on-site, in the supply chain, and in new town centres
THE SCALE
500,000+ homes. 50+ locations.
A repeatable delivery engine
NHT is not a pilot. It's a national pipeline with an industrial backbone, enabling consistent output year after year.
This is how the UK builds at the pace the moment requires.
JOBS, SKILLS, AND INDUSTRY
A sovereign housing capability—built in Britain
NHT creates tens of thousands of jobs across:
- Manufacturing (off-site production, automation, robotics)
- Construction and installation
- Logistics and materials
- Engineering and digital design (BIM, digital twins, QA)
- Town centre retail and services
- Long-term town operations and stewardship
And critically: it rebuilds the skills base—through training partnerships, accredited pathways, and local hiring.
THE GIGAFACTORY AND NEW IP
The UK should own the future of housing production
NHT will develop and deploy:
A standardised housing "platform" (components + interfaces)
Automated manufacturing lines for key modules
Digitally controlled quality systems and compliance
Factory-to-site logistics optimisation
A new library of UK-owned building IP, improving cost and speed over time
This is long-term national industrial strategy—delivered through homes people can live in.
HOW IT WORKS
A delivery model that removes friction
01
Site pipeline and selection
Clear criteria: transport, infrastructure, deliverability, local support, and economic impact.
02
Planning acceleration
Design codes, pre-agreed principles, and a streamlined consent path.
03
Infrastructure first
Utilities, roads, schools, health, broadband—sequenced for early liveability.
04
Industrial build-out
Factory production + rapid assembly, with consistent quality and predictable schedules.
05
Stewardship and value capture
Long-term ownership structures that reinvest in place.
WHY NOW
Housing is security
A country that can't house its people can't compete, can't retain talent, and can't deliver public sector reform. NHT is a practical, scalable answer—built around delivery, not slogans.
