The published guidance made clear, the government anticipates setting up a specific number of Investment Zones where it can be demonstrated they will have the greatest impact on growth and housing supply.

While the precise number is still to be determined, places were required to set out the potential economic impact of their proposals in the Expression of Interest. We are currently assessing those EOIs received and will be able to say more when this is complete.
