Revival of the New Town: What 12 New UK Towns Mean for Housing Delivery

  • Sep 30, 2025
  • 1 min read

Intro

Government proposals for 12 new towns mark a revival of a bold planning tradition. If realised, these schemes could reshape regional housing markets and investor appetite.


Analysis


The Opportunity. Scale, infrastructure-led growth, and placemaking at a strategic level.


The Challenge. Land assembly, delivery partnerships, and political consensus will be tough.


The Policy Lens. New towns could fast-track housing numbers, but require alignment across government, Homes England, and private capital.


The Investor View. Institutional appetite is there, but only for projects with clear risk management and governance.


Dimora’s Perspective. We bring experience from masterplanning and delivering large-scale housing projects. Our consultancy ensures strategic visions translate into viable delivery frameworks investors trust.


Looking at opportunities in strategic growth or new town delivery?

Dimora can help guide you through complexity.

Hi,
I'm Al

I’ve spent over 20 years in real estate, working across housebuilding, regeneration, build-to-rent, single-family housing and mixed-use development. In that time, I’ve helped take projects from early ideas and messy sites through to funding, planning, delivery and real communities.

Dimora is where I bring all of that experience together — a hands-on, commercially minded consultancy for people who want to create better places to live. I like solving complicated development problems, joining the dots between capital and delivery, and helping turn big ideas into projects that actually work.

Now working across the UK and Middle East, I’m focused on residential, hospitality, mixed-use and living-sector opportunities with strong fundamentals, thoughtful design and long-term value.

In simple terms: I help shape, fund and deliver places people want to live, stay and belong.
