From stalled to sustainable: How Cardiff Capital Region is bridging the housing gap

Speakers: Mike Brough, strategic director regional growth, Cardiff Capital Region Gemma Clisset, partnerships director, Lovell Chair: Akanksha Soni, news editor, Estates Gazette Real estate regeneration isn't just about laying bricks; it’s about solving the complex puzzles of stalled sites and brownfield land. Across the UK, thousands of homes remain "unbuildable" due to viability pressures, leaving communities in limbo. But in South East Wales, a new blueprint for delivery is emerging. In this episode, we dive into the Cardiff Capital Region (CCR) Housing Viability Gap Fund, a targeted £35m programme designed to breathe life into derelict land. We explore how this "evergreen" approach to investment is converting 230 acres of brownfield into 2,500 new homes.
