Is there sufficient information available to guide and inform stakeholders to deliver proposals that will adhere to DCLG’s vision of a garden village or a garden town?.Has the DCLG responded to the ‘lessons learned’ from the pioneer projects and.However, in repacking the 2014 initiative, three key questions may be raised: Through the experience of the pioneer projects together with recent publications and Policy Advice Notes related to Garden City and New Town developments (notably by the Town and Country Planning Association – TCPA), all parties should be better informed concerning the planning, design and delivery of these new settlements. Now, with three and a half years remaining for the government to meet its self-imposed quota, the DCLG has launched another settlement growth initiative and once again it has tied this to the garden city’s flagpole. Since 2014, much has been written about the success and failure of the pioneer project and also, the role of new settlements as part of an integrated development approach. If there were a silver bullet for resolving the housing crisis then building new towns would be it. The overarching intent of the programme is clear: the government has committed to building one million new homes by 2020 and developing a series of new settlements will significantly support this. The deadline for stakeholders that are interested in developing a garden village is 31st July 2016 while according to DCLG, new towns and cities may be presented ‘on a rolling basis’. While the 2014 prospectus focussed on new ‘cities’ of greater than 15,000 homes, the current initiative targets settlements of varying scales with each village to have 1,500 to 10,000 homes, and each town or city to have more than 10,000 homes. Representing the most ambitious expansion programme since the end of the Second World War, this initiative follows a similar process from April 2014, which led to the selection of six pioneer projects at Bicester, Basingstoke, Didcot, Ebbsfleet, North Essex and North Northamptonshire. In March 2016, the DCLG released a prospectus for the development of up to twelve self-contained villages and an unspecified number of new towns and cities according to ‘Garden City’ principles.
